Caretaker Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training Madad Ali Sindhi has said that the government will extend all out support to private institutions in order to ensure their delivery of service to the public at large.
This was stated by him while chairing a meeting held here on Tuesday with the heads of major private educational institutions of Islamabad Capital Territory, also attended by the Chairperson PEIRA, Dr. Sayeda Zia Batool.
Madad Ali Sindhi emphasized on improving equity through fostering a more inclusive educational environment, and to increase the scope of fee concession/scholarships for needy students.
The minister was told that on average all private institutions are giving scholarships between 15-25% to all its students.
The innovative CSR approaches and sustainable practices were discussed by the representatives of the private educational institutions in detail.
The minister appreciated the CSR initiative and activities that private educational institutions have already adopted. This will open the doors of quality education provision to children from the less advantaged segments of society. These initiatives are pivotal in elevating Pakistan’s human development and strengthening the nation’s social capital.
