AJK president calls for quality education to achieve national objectives


MURREE: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has urged teachers and educators to impart value-based education to students to make them responsible citizens of the country.

“We should teach our students to be honest, truthful, punctual, resilient and self-confident to ensure that they grow up with a sense of right and wrong,” said the president while addressing National Director Conference (NDC) of the Dar-e Arqam schools system on Thursday.

He advised the school management to accelerate efforts for the development of an educational system that focuses on equipping the youth with competitive practical skills, knowledge and character building.

“Multiple education systems in Pakistan were unable to fulfil the national needs in an era of rapid progress,” said President Khan while urging that the uniform education system in the country is a pre-requisite to achieve “our national objectives”.

He added that disparity in the education system is a major reason that the country lagged behind in various fields.
