ISLAMABAD:

The government is ‘keen’ to bring back YouTube to the people, State Minister for Education Baleeghur Rehman said on Tuesday.

Acknowledging that a large repository of educational materials are available on the popular video-sharing website, which has been inaccessible in Pakistan since September 2012, the minister said that the government was serious in trying to restore access to the website.

The minister was addressing a town hall session on Media Information Literacy, organised by media development organisation Agahi, in collaboration with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).
