Shehbaz: Child's future must not hinge on family wealth
At a Danish School opening in Islamabad, the prime minister said talented children from poor homes deserve the same quality education in Pakistan as those from wealthy families.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said a child’s future should not depend on parents’ financial status.
He spoke at the inauguration of a Danish School in Islamabad on Sunday.
He said the schools aim to give underprivileged children equal educational opportunities.
Danish Schools were first launched in Punjab in 2010 for talented students from remote and disadvantaged areas.
He cited a girl from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa who became a doctor despite early hardship after losing her father.
