Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif’s announcements related to education policies and the revival of laptop schemes have been welcomed by relevant stakeholders of higher education. This was stated by the Islamia University of Bahawalpur (IUB) Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Athar Mehboob while talking to media here on Tuesday.
He said that we are looking forward to a revival of many student-friendly and educational friendly policies by the federal government, especially the laptop scheme. During the Covid-19 pandemic, students having laptops had a great advantage and they were able to continue their studies online. He expressed the hope that another student-friendly scheme Prime Minister Fee Reimbursement Scheme will be brought back where the 100 percent of fees paid by the student was refunded to the student.
