Public-private partnerships must to wipe out illiteracy
KARACHI – Minister of State for Education, Ghulam Farid Khatiya, has said that the 21st century is the century of partnerships and both public and private sectors should join hands to reduce illiteracy. Public sector alone was not responsible for improving the literacy rate in Pakistan which at 48 per cent was one of the lowest of developing countries in the region; instead it is a joint responsibility of all stakeholders including the private sector.
The Minister made these remarks at the inaugural ceremony of the 10th National Summer Camp for Talented HSSC Boys, with 150 students from 26 education boards across Pakistan, hosted by the Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB).
