QUETTA: Dutch Ambassador De Vink has emphasised the need for special measures for girls’ education in the country.

Addressing an event titled Balochistan Education Programme organised by Save the Children on Thursday, he praised Malala Yousufzai for her role in promotion of education and said it was now the government’s responsibility to fulfil her dream of `education for all’.

The diplomat said his government had provided $13.4 million to Balochistan under a five-year programme (2009-2014) for easy access to quality education.
