Islamabad : Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training Shafqat Mahmood has said the ministry and its attached departments would be re-organised in such a way that it would be reflective of the government's priorities in the education sector.

“Once our education policy is formulated, we will seek technical and financial assistance from UNICEF, DFID and other such organisations working for promotion of education in Pakistan," he told Unicef Pakistan chief (education) Ellen Van Kalmthout and DFID senior education adviser Edward Davis, who called on him here. The minister said education was the top priority of the government.

“Our main targets are bringing the 25 million out of school children to schools, introducing a uniform education system and curriculum, providing quality education and skill development.”
