Capital Administration and Development Division (CADD) Parliamentary Secretary Maiza Hameed on Wednesday said that under prime minister education reforms programme, every eligible child had been facilitated to get admission in the public sector schools.
“In order to ensure ‘every child in school’, government has facilitated admissions of 100 per cent children”, she told APP.
In an exclusive talk, Maiza said that a facilitation committee constituted in CADD had worked to address issues relating to the admissions in Islamabad capital territory (ICT) schools.
The main objective of the committee was to ensure admissions of children from class one to ten in schools situated in their respective areas.
Replying to a question, Maiza said that the students having up to 80 per cent marks had only been considered for admissions in schools situated out of their vicinity.
The parliamentary secretary said that more class rooms are being established in educational institutions of ICT to cater the need of these students.
It is pertinent to note that the parents have demanded the authorities to construct more schools to accommodate more students as the existing seating capacity was not enough to meet admissions for a number of students.
