Education for all

Published October 15, 2018

THIS refers to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s speech in which he insisted on giving free education to all. It is a progressive approach to give free education through schools, but I would like to ask the PM about what happens after they complete Class X.

Most students who attend schools free of cost are unable to afford their fee and are also unable to pay it afterwards at college, the result of which is that they give up education.

The government must take steps to either give jobs to the students right after the completion of Class X or must provide free education up to Class XII.
