Federal educational institutions have geared up to introduce entrepreneurship education, aiming to nurture business acumen among students from grades 6 to 10 starting from the next academic session.

The newly designed curriculum aims to cultivate entrepreneurial skills, providing students with the tools and mindset needed for innovation and creativity. Unlike traditional learning methods, the curriculum emphasizes project-based learning, enabling students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical, real-world scenarios.

Secretary of Education, MohiuddinWani, highlighted that this initiative draws inspiration from a successful model implemented in Gilgit-Baltistan over the past two years. He stated, “This innovative approach to education aims to move away from conventional methods, fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship and imparting essential skills like creative thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork.”

To ensure the effective implementation of the new curriculum, 200 teachers will undergo specialized training in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Introducing entrepreneurship education at an early stage is expected to not only cultivate entrepreneurial spirit but also equip students with valuable life skills. This forward-thinking initiative aligns with the government’s target to transition away from traditional educational methods towards a more innovative and practical approach.

Moreover,the civil society has demanded the government should start school-based education programmes for the prevention of child abuse and to aware juniors to recognize and avoid predators.

Talking to APP here on Tuesday, the educationist expert Farkhanda Orangzaib has said that concerned authorities, stressing the education awareness programme and teachers and school administrators have been directed to start informative lectures to prevent violence against minors.
Under the awareness program, the government should introduce steps to identify suspicious persons while students would be encouraged to share information about violence within school premises.

Ayub Malik the Human Rights activist has said that this move is to curb the alarming rise in sexual abuse incidents involving children.
