January 12, 2025

Dr Bushra Mirza (Educationist): We need to extend financial support to our education sector as well as poor parents to encourage them to send their girls to schools. We need to enhance invest in our girls education system.  Last year Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif announced education emergency as a good initiative.  However, we need to enhance budgetary allocations for education as our current budget is not as per the recommendations of the United Nations. The United Nations declares four percent of total budget of any country for education system as quite adequate.

 

Maulana Abdul Qadeer Azad (Religious Scholar): The International Conference on Girls Education is a welcoming and positive step and it has sent a positive message to the world. International renowned personalities and leaders along with their representatives attended this conference. Now should declare children education as compulsory for a beautiful and pleasant society.
