The Governor hoped that such education conferences would take place in all provinces; ultimately bringing positive uplift in the literacy rate of Pakistan.
Although education departments of the provinces are taking effective steps through concrete mechanism to improve the education system, yet maintaining the tempo of effort is also direly needed, he said.
