100 model schools to be setup in GB: CM

Chief Minister Gilgit Balistan (GB), Hafiz Hafeezur Rehman Thursday said that his government was providing free books to students of class-I to class-X to promote education and 100 model schools would also be setup during next five years in province.
He said these positive measures had significantly increased enrollment in government schools and 1,65,000 children were being provided free books. He said provision of free books would help poor students to continue their studies without financial constraints.

A special policy for providing merit scholarship to poor students was being introduced in education department and an endowment fund had been setup in this regard, the CM added.
A refresher and training course for teachers was held to enhance capacity of teachers of public sector schools, saying 100 model schools would be setup in five years. The confidence of masses on public sector schools had been restored and all basic facilities were being provided to government schools, he maintained.
A separate directorate for promoting technical education had been setup to take full advantage of CPEC projects and a regulatory authority was setup for monitoring of private schools. He said special education was being extended to other districts of GB.—APP
