CM Maryam announces 100,000 free electric bikes for students
LAHORE, Jul 16 (APP):Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz has said that Nawaz Sharif schools will be established in every tehsil, while students will be given one lakh free electric bikes.
She said that the law and order situation in Punjab is better, daughters are safe, education erases differences.
Addressing a ceremony in Arifwala, CM Maryam Nawaz said that the government is converting government schools into modern educational institutions, where children of the poor and the rich will have equal facilities and opportunities. She stressed the safety of children and said that education is the power that opens the doors of development by eliminating social differences.
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, while addressing a ceremony in Arifwala, urged parents not to send their children to unsafe places during the rainy season. She said that in recent days, 14 children lost their lives due to the collapse of the roof of an under-construction house, which she is extremely saddened by. She said that whenever she hears news of a child falling into a drain or open manhole, it hurts deeply.
She said that the government is constantly giving instructions to commissioners and deputy commissioners to close open manholes, however, some mischievous elements steal their covers at night, which puts the lives of citizens, especially children, in danger.
Maryam Nawaz said that they are responsible for the 130 million people of Punjab and millions of students, that is why the government is giving top priority to education and the safety of students.
She said that the scope of green electric buses is being continuously expanded for children who do not have quality travel facilities so that they can travel safely and comfortably.
The Chief Minister urged the students to proudly say that they are studying in government schools, because the government has resolved to provide the same facilities in government schools that are available in expensive private educational institutions. She said that education is the greatest equalizing force and higher education opens new paths for human development.
She said that there was an extraordinary interest in admissions to the Nawaz Sharif School of Eminence, where five thousand students took the test for one thousand seats. According to him, a DSP’s child and a laborer’s child also study in these schools, because talent should not be related to wealth.
Maryam Nawaz announced that one lakh laptops and another 50 thousand meritorious scholarships will be given to students. She said that the lack of all basic facilities is being addressed at a cost of Rs 40 billion in government schools across Punjab, including new classrooms, furniture, bathrooms, clean water, fans and other necessary facilities.
She said that the government is establishing science, technology, mathematics, computer and IT labs, while for the first time artificial intelligence labs are also being set up so that Punjab students can also acquire modern knowledge like children from developed countries of the world. She urged the students to learn artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics, saying that these skills are the guarantee of success in the future.
The Chief Minister said that for the first time, it has happened that Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat’s own son is also studying in a government school, which is proof that the government has faith in the government education system. She said that this is just the beginning of change in the education sector in Punjab and soon 300 modern schools will be established across the province.
