PM vows to expand pro-poor education network

On Thursday, while meeting Ayan Kashif, a student of Daanish School Mianwali who placed first in the BISE Lahore matriculation exam, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif pledged to extend the Daanish Schools network to Balochistan, AJK, Gilgit Baltistan, and Islamabad.

The student was invited to the prime minister’s residence by the prime minister, who wanted to personally welcome him and offer congratulations for his accomplishment in spite of coming from a low-income orphanage.

The student, his mother, and the school principal were all in attendance when the prime minister congratulated him. He also stated that Pakistan’s progress could be ensured by such gifted youth because the government was concentrating on their skill and vocational training to increase employability and increase the nation’s production of industrial and agricultural goods.
