ISLAMABAD, Dec 04 (APP): Federal Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi on Thursday said that the outsourcing of Pakistan Railways (PR) schools marks a major stride toward promoting modern and quality education.
The minister made these remarks at a signing ceremony held under his supervision, during which three major railway schools were formally outsourced, said a news release.
Under the agreement, Railway Boys & Girls School Karachi has been handed over to TYMS Education System, while Railway Girls High School Mughalpura Lahore and Railway Girls Saint Andrews School/College Lahore have been transferred to SAGE/DAGE Education Pvt. Ltd.
The Karachi agreements were signed by Tayyab Mirza, and the Lahore agreements by Dr. Nasir Mahmood.
The initiative is part of a Public–Private Partnership (PPP) model aligned with the Prime Minister’s vision to modernize educational institutions across the country.
It also ensures the protection of the rights of railway employees and their children.
Under the arrangement, the private partners will introduce a modern curriculum, advanced teaching methodologies, an upgraded examination system, fully equipped science and computer laboratories, sports facilities, and renovated school buildings.
The program also includes structural improvements and the construction of additional classrooms to meet growing academic needs.
“The future of railway employees’ children is now in safe hands, and this initiative represents an important step towards a bright and promising future,” said Hanif Abbasi.
With the successful outsourcing of the three schools in Karachi and Lahore, Pakistan Railways is moving steadily toward transforming its educational institutions into modern, high-standard, and self-sustaining centers of excellence.
