Director General (DG) of the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE), Syed Junaid Akhlaq along with senior officials, visited six schools in Islamabad’s rural areas on Sunday to assess the damage caused by recent heavy rains and to reinforce ongoing government initiatives to enhance educational facilities.
The delegation included the Area Education Officer (AEO) BharaKahu, Director (Planning & Development), Director (Coordination), and the Project Director of the Project Management Unit (PMU).
This visit underscores the government’s commitment to providing quality education in Islamabad’s rural areas, ensuring that students have access to safe, well-equipped, and equitable learning environments.
During the visit, the DG announced a comprehensive plan for urgent repairs, committing to complete the restoration work within 10 days.
This plan includes whitewashing all institutions, electrification, washroom repairs, and the repair of window panes. These efforts are in line with earlier inspections by parliamentarians, reflecting the government’s focused approach to uplifting rural educational institutions. Specific tasks were assigned to the Project Director, including establishment of a computer lab with 40 computers at Islamabad Model College for Boys (IMCB) MairaBegwal, construction of a boundary wall at Islamabad Model School for Boys (IMSB) Phulgran and establishment of a library at Islamabad Model School for Girls (IMSG) Phulgran.
