Abdullah*  \nAbstract  \nUK Aid has been aiding school education in Pakistan since long. Historically, Pakistan has received the largest aid from UK aid in education sector but little research is done to evaluate the role of this aid. For this purpose, an evaluative case study research design was used to evaluate the role of UK Aid. Qualitative research approach was employed to do this evaluative study. Five programs were selected to study UK aid as a case in this research. Two programs were in postcompletion stage and three programs were in implementation stage. Data triangulation was done to incorporate different aspects related to the aid in the five selected programs. Purposive sampling technique was used. Semi-structured interviews from the recipients of UK aid were conducted. Document analysis was carried out to specific, formal documents to critically review the donor’s perspective. Following strict ethical guidelines, thematic analysis for the interviews and document analysis was performed. After evaluating the programs and comparing outcomes with education indicators, contextual discussion points were raised. It was found that the aid is used for multipurpose to enhance the educational outcomes but the problems are grave and require consistent long-term combined efforts. Recommendations were given to enhance the effectiveness and utility of UK Aid.  \nKeywords: UK Aid; school education; evaluative case study program evaluation.  \n*Assistant Professor, Department of Education, Virtual University of Pakistan, Lawrence Road Office, Lahore.

There are still many improvements desirable in the education system that include basic indicators of quality education such as enrollment rates, retention rates, quality aspects, and learning outcomes of students. Pakistan has inherited basic education system from the British courtesy their above 100-year rule over the sub-continent.  \nAccording to Asim and Shah (2014) the British education system for combined sub-continent started from 1813 and lasted till 1947. They termed it a seven-term period having different educational policies. Asim and Shah (2014) have divided the British education system in sub-continent into seven terms. These terms span over the following periods: 1st term (1813-1835), 2nd term (1835-1854), 3rd term (1854-1882), 4th term (1882-1904), 5th term (1904-1919), 6th term (1919-1929), 7th term (1929-1947) . This is how the roots of current education system of Pakistan originate from old British education system. UK Aid has a history of reform programs in the education system of Pakistan. Despite a trail of hefty aid programs of UK Aid, the education indicators of Pakistan are still demeaning (Abdullah & Akhtar, 2019a) . Therefore, there is a need to critically investigate UK Aid and its role in the education system in Pakistan.  \nUK aid and DFID  \nUK aid is a bi-lateral foreign aid organization that provides international developmental funding through its Department for International Development (DFID) . DFID has initiated multiple projects throughout Pakistan. Its projects range from each province, including Punjab, Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa, Baluchistan, and Sindh to other regions, like Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA), and Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) . The nature of these projects varies from one region to another. UK Aid has funded the highest in Pakistan; even more than Ethiopia, Nigeria, Tanzania, and Syria (Development Tracker, 2016) . Education has been on their priority list. UK Aid has offered 414.83 Million pounds in Pakistan for the year 2016-17.  \nFor every coming year, there are new commitments by DFID with Pakistan.
