Vocational skills should be introduced at National Child Protection Center (NCPC) for imparting technical education to street children free of cost.
New Secretary In-charge Ministry of Human Rights Rabiya Javeri Agha during a visit to NCPC, an attached department of Ministry of Human Rights, on Tuesday said besides formal education, skill learning was imperative for our youth.
The new secretary was briefed that most of these children involved in beggary were brought here voluntarily through counselling with their parents or through police to give them education as it was their basic right.
NCPC Director Yousaf Shah informed the secretary that the center was providing education from nursery to class two after which they would be enrolled in government schools to pursue their studies formally.
Joint Secretary MOHR, Humaira Azam, Director General International Cooperation Muhammad Hassan Mangi and other officials of Ministry of Human Rights also accompanied the secretary during the visit.
