‘Centre, provinces must collaborate to enrol 23m out-of-school kids’

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has called for coordination between the federal and provincial governments to enrol the 22.8 million out-of-school children and achieve other objectives of the ‘Education Emergency’.

In his address to the federal cabinet on Tuesday, the prime minister said education was a subject devolved to provinces, and the Centre should “aggressively work” with the provincial governments to address the challenge of out-of-school children, the majority of whom are girls.
