Pakistan’s bright future depends upon its youth who are 60 percent of total population of the country. Keeping this fact in view, the government is providing maximum opportunities of education and employment to the young generation. Like China, South Korea and Malaysia, Pakistani youth can also bring about a revolution in the country. Punjab Education Department is achieving more than the targets set every year. UK has acknowledged that Punjab is the fastest developing province in education sector the world over and it has become a major partner of Punjab government in its efforts to promote education.
These views were expressed by Provincial Minister for Education and Youth Affairs Rana Mashhood at a function held here Thursday in connection with the formation of Punjab Youth Commission under the Punjab Youth Policy. The event was attended by the students of various universities and colleges in a large number. Punjab Youth Affairs Secretary Hamayun Mazhar, Member Punjab Public Affairs Committee Ali Raza, Sabiha Shaheen, Executive Director of NGO ‘Bargad” and Principal Home Economics College Samyia Kalsoom also addressed the function.
Mashood said that our rulers started indulging in blame game right after the creation of Pakistan which left us far behind other countries of the world. He said that our affairs so much worsened that the country disintegrated. He said that corruption, terrorism and bad governance led to isolation of the country in the comity of nations while the economy of Pakistan reached the verge of disaster. Under the circumstances, Pakistan Muslim League-N led by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif raised the slogan of turning Pakistan into Asian Tiger. He said Nawaz Sharif launched the projects of motorway, Gwadar Port, optic fiber and most importantly conducted nuclear tests but on October 12, 1999, dictator Pervaiz Mushraf toppled a democratic government and derailed the country again. However, Pakistani masses again defeated the enemies of development and prosperity in the general elections of 2008 and 2013 and process of rebuilding the country resumed.
There is always been a matter of prescribing such elements which are regarded to be of great interest to our own and this would nearly be of good idea for the students to avail such opportunities.
