PML-Q govt ‘misused World Bank funds’


LAHORE — Federal Education Minister Ahsan Iqbal has alleged that the Pakistan Muslim Leaque-Quaid (PML-Q) government had spent World Bank money on advertising its literacy programme “Parha Likha Punjab Programme,” saying criminal cases should be registered against those responsible for it.
The minister was speaking at a reception given in his honour at the Punjab University’s Institute of Biochemistry and Biotechnology here.
Ahsan vowed to establish a uniform education system, from primary schools to university level, in the country. He said the decision to restore student unions would be implemented but a proper code of conduct will be prepared and implemented.
Ahsan said that a strong government educational system had to be built for implementation of a uniform system of education. He said there was a need to reform the service structure of teachers so that they will also get promotions on the basis of their performance.
He said there was an urgent need to establishing a value chain system from pre-school and nursery level to the higher education level in the education system and every stakeholder in this chain should play his or her part with responsibility and commitment.
