Pakistan's education sector has been gaining momentum under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif. This is evident from her recent meeting with World Bank Country Director Najy Benhassine in Lahore, where they discussed further strengthening their partnership in the education sector as part of the $40 billion Country Partnership Framework provided by the World Bank.
In line with her commitment to improving education, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has announced several initiatives across Punjab. She announced the establishment of a medical college in Layyah, which is expected to start classes soon. Additionally, she announced the establishment of Nawaz Sharif Centres of Excellence for Early Childhood Education in Dera Ghazi Khan and Layyah.
The government is also allocating historic funds worth Rs 3 billion for universities in Dera Ghazi Khan and Layyah. CM Maryam directed Provincial Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat to start classes at Vehari Girls College after the summer break, following an appeal from MPA Naeem Akhtar Khan Bhabha.
