Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif is expected to lay foundation stone of the Pak-Bosnia International School near Jhelum on Monday which was being built by Bosnia to help Pakistan bring in more out-of-school children into school for the spread of education.
“Pakistan is the sixth most populated country in the world and is counted amongst the least literate nations in the world, where almost 5.5 million children are out of school and only one in four is able to make it to the 10th standard,” ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina Dr Nedim Makarevic told APP here while giving details about an English medium school in one of the most backward areas of Punjab province.
The school, he said, would initially accommodate 240 children which would be able to get in 480 children at a later stage.
When questioned what motivated him to set up a school, Nedim said he wanted to give Pakistan which was of long-term value. He said the school would be completed in April this year. “Education is an important aspect of socio-economic development for any country in the world. An educated society has more chances of development,” he added.
“We wanted to give Pakistan something which will be long term value,” said the ambassador who had also composed a special song soon after the terrorists, attack on Army Public School in Peshawar in 2014, indicating his love and compassion of school children and to spotlight the great sacrifices, being rendered by Pakistan in war against extremism.
Pak-Bosnia International School would have qualified teachers and air-conditioned class rooms so that children could concentrate on their studies in sweltering heat of Jhelum.
