KARACHI: The Jamaat-e-Islami-led Gulshan-i-Iqbal Town administration has launched an education card programme for more than 600 students of six public schools, offering uniforms, school bags, stationery and other educational supplies.
The launch followed a similar initiative in Gulberg Town, as the JI said it planned to extend the programme to 50,000 students across its nine town administrations.
Speaking at the launch of the Education Card 2026 programme, JI Karachi chief Monem Zafar said education was central to the party’s vision for development and reconstruction. “Educating children and safeguarding their future is our vision. The journey of development and reconstruction will move forward through education,” he said.
Monem Zafar congratulated the town chairman, his team and the education department, saying the restoration and improvement of public schools had been a key priority since the JI gained representation in the town administrations.
He claimed enrolment in government schools in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Town had risen significantly over the past three years.
The JI leader criticized successive governments for neglecting education and said public schools continued to lack basic facilities.
