ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has inaugurated Daanish School in Islamabad.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony, the Prime Minister reaffirmed the government’s resolve to empower the country’s talented youth by providing equal educational opportunities.
He said the success stories of those who graduated from Daanish Schools are heart-touching and inspiring.
He highlighted that financial constraints remain the biggest roadblock for millions of brilliant young boys and girls across the country who possess exceptional minds, passion, and the potential to transform Pakistan into one of the fastest-growing nations.
Reflecting on the vision behind the establishment of the Daanish Schools network in 2010, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif noted that the initiative was conceived to provide underprivileged students from every corner of the country, including Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, access to high-quality education at par with elite institutions.
PM Shehbaz stressed that every child deserved equal opportunities, whether they were the son or daughter of the richest man in Pakistan, the prime minister or anyone from the elite class, or a child who had lost both parents.
“If these children are left to waste their time in the muddy streets of their villages and cities, then this is not the Pakistan of Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. This is certainly not his Pakistan,” he remarked.
He emphasized that quality education is a right for all talented children, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
