PM Shehbaz vows equal education opportunities to realise Quaid-e-Azam’s welfare-state vision
Says disparity in education is the bottleneck which has stalled educational progress in Pakistan
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif vowed on Wednesday to provide equal educational opportunities across Pakistan to fulfill the welfare-state vision of Quaid-e-Azam. Addressing an International Youth Day event in Islamabad, the Prime Minister emphasized that millions of children were deprived of the same quality education enjoyed by privileged students.
He highlighted the stark contrast between the privileged few who could afford elite institutions and overseas education, and the majority who had no access to even basic education. The Prime Minister pointed to Danish schools as a model for achieving this goal, expanding these institutions to provide free education comparable to top institutions to children from underprivileged backgrounds.
He stressed that empowering young people through education, technology, and entrepreneurship was essential for Pakistan's progress and prosperity, calling for a national commitment to narrowing the educational divide.
