Educated Punjab

Education is the basic right of every child and is the key to socio-economic development. Since it is the responsibility of the state and government to provide equal educational opportunities to its people, the Punjab government has taken a number of revolutionary steps. The untiring efforts by the government have resulted in a remarkable increase in the allocation for education. The government has introduced the Punjab Educational Endowment Fund for talented and needy students. The Punjab government has also introduced the Education Voucher Scheme to benefit children belonging to less affluent areas.

In today’s competitive world, education is a necessity. The PML-N leadership is making strenuous efforts towards ensuring education for every citizen. If CM Shehbaz Sharif’s dream for the education sector in the province materialises then the day is not far when Pakistan will be among countries with high literacy rates. It is hoped that the government will remain sincere in its efforts to provide education to every child and the dream of an educated Punjab will turn into reality soon.
