Shahbaz vows to streamline education system

The CM said Pakistan had plunged into the shadow of darkness due to autocratic rule and abrogation of the constitution due to which our beloved Pakistan disintegrated and fell into deep ravine of obstacles.

He said if there was any moment of emergency proclamation, it should have been for education. He said without adoring the jewel of education, we can not achieve ideals set by Iqbal and the Quaid. The nation had to contribute its share to education, he added. Shahbaz said he was proud to be amongst the shining children of Nazriati Summer School, in whose hands lies the destiny of the nation.

Shahbaz said during his recent visit to a village in Rahim Yar Khan, he was astonished to see the children getting education on ‘tat’. The girl school had only one toilet. The so-called exponents of ‘Parha Likha Punjab’ did nothing to provide missing facilities of toilets, furniture and others in school. He said some of our children did not know the name of capital of Punjab and there were a few children who can tell the names of world’s capitals and download matter on internet.

He said our faulty education system was producing two streams and two classes of affluent, have and have’nots.

Is this the state of things for which our elders gave sacrifices of their lives, Is it a justice to build CM House at a cost of billions of rupees and schools without even tat and furniture.”.

He, however, said we would fight till the last breath for quality education. “We will come up to the expectation of the people and perform such feats which would be remembered by the coming generations.

He said we had come on the track after mistakes and were working on an agenda of national service. We would break eight years stagnation. Our exchequer was open for children.

Shahbaz praised Nazria Pakistan Trust and its programmes and announced that the Punjab Government would bear all expenses on the construction of Quaid-e-Azam Complex.
