ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday inaugurated the ‘School on Wheels’ project to provide education to children belonging to rural areas of Islamabad.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, the prime minister said that without adorning children with the ornament of education, the dream of national development cannot be fulfilled.
The premier appreciated the initiative and directed to widen the program’s scope to all four provinces as well as Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. He said the children getting education through these mobile schools will also be provided with food. The PM added that the project would help to educate children in rural areas who faced a lack of modern education facilities. He also interacted with students and teachers.
