In Karachi, the Jamaat-e-Islami-led Gulshan-i-Iqbal Town administration has initiated an education card programme for over 600 students enrolled in six public schools. This program provides uniforms, school bags, stationery, and other educational supplies. The launch comes in the wake of a similar program executed in Gulberg Town. The Jamaat-e-Islami party intends to expand the initiative to 50,000 students across its nine town administrations.
During the launch event of the Education Card 2026 programme, JI Karachi chief Monem Zafar emphasized that education is pivotal to the party’s vision for development and reconstruction. Zafar stated, "Educating children and safeguarding their future is our vision. The journey of development and reconstruction will move forward through education."
The party chairman commended the town chairman, his team, and the education department for their efforts in restoring and enhancing public schools, noting that this focus has been a top priority since the JI secured representation in the town administrations.
Zafar revealed that the enrollment in government schools in Gulshan-e-Iqbal Town has experienced a significant increase over the past three years. He criticized previous governments for their neglect of education and highlighted the continued scarcity of basic facilities in public schools.
