In a groundbreaking move to transform the educational landscape of Punjab, Chief Minister (CM) Maryam Nawaz has announced a comprehensive plan aimed at promoting academic excellence and improving access to quality education across the province. The centerpiece of this initiative is the introduction of the ‘CM Education Card,’ a visionary scheme designed to reward and motivate high-achieving students. Under this program, students who score over 80% marks will be honored with the prestigious ‘CM Eminence Star Card,’ recognizing their academic brilliance and encouraging others to strive for similar success.
In addition to the Education Card, the Chief Minister revealed plans to establish cutting-edge laboratories for matriculation and technical education. These state-of-the-art facilities are expected to provide students with hands-on learning experiences, equipping them with the skills needed to excel in a rapidly evolving job market.
Further bolstering her vision for educational reform, CM Maryam Nawaz announced the launch of a pilot project in 338 schools across Lahore. This initiative will focus on offering English language speaking classes, aiming to enhance students’ communication skills and prepare them for global opportunities. The program is expected to serve as a model for future expansion across the province.
Addressing the pressing issue of school infrastructure, the Chief Minister set an ambitious 90-day deadline for the provision of basic amenities such as drinking water, whitewashing, and furniture in schools. This move underscores her commitment to creating a conducive learning environment for students and ensuring that no child is left behind due to inadequate facilities.
During her address, CM Maryam Nawaz emphasized that improving the quality of education in Punjab is the government’s top priority. She highlighted the importance of instilling patriotism and ethical values in students, stating, “Education is not just about academics; it is about shaping responsible citizens who contribute positively to society. We must teach our students the importance of patriotism and ethical values alongside their studies.”
This multi-faceted approach to education reform reflects the Punjab government’s dedication to nurturing a generation of well-rounded, skilled, and morally grounded individuals. With these initiatives, CM Maryam Nawaz aims to set a new standard for educational excellence in the province, paving the way for a brighter future for Punjab’s youth.
