Punjab government has given top priority to the promotion of quality education in the public sector institutions. Different holistic reforms have been introduced so that the poor and deserving strata could easily access the educational opportunities.
During the current fiscal year, a total sum of Rs 800 million has been provided to promote functional-literacy in the marginalised segments of the society. This was stated by Chairman Punjab Education Foundation, Raja Muhammad Anwar while presiding over a meeting of parents and partner school teachers during his visit of partner schools in Baghban Pura here Sunday.
During the meeting, Raja Anwar maintained that education is the most important fundamental right of every child and, therefore, meaningful reforms have been taken during the last three years in Punjab so that all the children could get free education. Market-oriented education and the technological resources help the nations to excel and Pakistan is required to pay special attention to the acquirement of science and technology so that it could become self-reliant in the real sense.
Raja Anwar further said that the education of special children has been given equal importance so that special children could have necessary educational facilities for learning. During the current fiscal year, Rs 500 million have been earmarked for the education of special children.
