No compromise on quality of Daanish Schools: prime minister
LAHORE, Oct 31 (APP): Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has directed the authorities to accelerate construction of Daanish Schools across the country, ensuring round-the-clock work for their timely completion, while stressing that no compromise on their quality standards would be acceptable.
He was chairing a review meeting on Saturday to assess progress on the construction of Daanish Schools nationwide.
“Our children are the future of the country, and Daanish Schools represent an investment in a bright future,” the prime minister said, adding that admission to these institutions would be granted strictly on merit to children belonging to the poorest and most deserving families.
He directed the relevant authorities to adopt modern artificial intelligence (AI) and information technology (IT)-based methods for the education and training of students to equip them with contemporary knowledge and skills.
The prime minister also ordered third-party validation to assess the quality of infrastructure, facilities and services being provided at Daanish Schools.
Directing the Ministry of Communications, he called for establishing an efficient road network to ensure easy access to Daanish Schools in Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK).
He further directed the authorities to present a strategy for establishing Daanish Schools in the merged districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (formerly FATA) at the earliest.
During the meeting, the prime minister was briefed on the progress of construction of Daanish Schools in Gilgit-Baltistan, AJK, Sindh and Balochistan.
Federal Ministers Ahsan Iqbal, Ahad Khan Cheema, Attaullah Tarar, Shaza Fatima Khawaja and Dr Musadik Masood Malik, along with senior officials of the relevant departments and institutions, attended the meeting, which was held online through Zoom.
