Islamabad : Provincial Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat Saturday said that in a bid to revolutionise the education sector, the Punjab government has announced its commitment to introduce the latest technology in schools to cover subjects ranging from basic literacy and numeracy to advanced IT skills.

Talking to a private news channel, Hayat emphasized that this initiative is a crucial step towards preparing Punjab’s youth for the challenges of the 21st century, adding, we are committed to providing our students with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in an increasingly digital world.
