Job Description:
Introduction
Mahbub ul Haq Research Centre is looking for a qualitative research assistant to assist DARE-RC research team in conducting an evaluation study of the Punjab Human Capital Investment Project’s (PHCIP) early childhood education program in South Punjab.
Study Context
Early childhood education (ECE) is vital for holistic child development, enhancing school readiness, reducing dropout rates, and improving academic performance (Hall 2023). However, access to and quality of ECE remain major challenges in Pakistan (Hentschel et al., 2023), particularly in South Punjab (Sieden et al. 2024), where some of the province’s poorest districts report primary school completion rates below 40%. For disadvantaged groups, including low-income children and girls, these figures are even lower (UNICEF 2022).
Despite ECE’s well-documented importance in shaping foundational skills, Pakistan lacks large-scale, rigorous evaluations of ECE interventions in public schools. Existing research focuses on small-scale pilot projects, limiting the ability to inform policy. Furthermore, most impact studies rely on short-term assessments, leaving a gap in understanding how early education interventions influence continued enrolment over time.
This study uses quantitative and qualitative techniques to evaluate the impact of PHCIP’s multi-pronged ECE intervention in South Punjab. By targeting public schools serving the poorest segments of society, the study focuses on improving literacy, numeracy, and socioemotional skills among children aged 3–5. It addresses the following questions:
1. What is the impact of PHCIP’s interventions on child development outcomes and continuing education?
2. What are the equity implications of these interventions for marginalised groups, including girls and stunted children?
The study’s theoretical framework links program inputs—teacher training, classroom upgrades, and learning kits (independent variables)—to intermediate outcomes like pedagogical practices, and final child outcomes (dependent variables), including literacy, numeracy, socioemotional skills, and continued school enrolment.
Key Responsibilities
- Listen to audio/video recordings and transcribe content accurately into written format.
- Adhere to formatting guidelines.
- Review and proofread transcripts to ensure high-quality output.
- Maintain the task list provided by the Research Associate.
Qualification:
- Junior/ Senior year students majoring in Political Science, Sociology/Anthropology, History, Economics, or other related fields. Fresh graduates can also apply.
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
- Excellent organisational and time management skills.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
- Prior experience in conducting qualitative research (preferred)

Duration: 2 months full-time (can extend if needed)
