It is the responsibility of the state to provide education to boys and girls, says PM

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that it is the responsibility of the state to provide education to boys and girls.

Addressing the launching ceremony of Ehsaas School Stipend program for deserving households on Wednesday, he regretted that no attention was paid in the past for the promotion of education and that is why about 20 million children today are out of school.

Imran Khan noted that it is responsibility of the government to extend facilitation and establish schools in areas where these are accessible to the children.

The prime minister said that an important aspect of this program is that it will help bring the out of school children especially the girls to the educational institutions.

Emphasizing upon the education of girls to uplift the society, he was appreciative of keeping the stipend of female students higher in Ehsaas School Stipend Program.

He said the use of technology will help ensure transparency and no fake entries in the stipend program.
