ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training Muhammad Baligh Ur Rehman has said that the government is committed to provide early development and learning opportunities to our children.

While addressing as chief guest the inaugural ceremony of the two-day second National Conference on Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) at the auditorium of Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) in Islamabad on Wednesday, the minister said that children are our asset and early childhood development is the fundamental right of every child to unleash his/her full potential.

The minister for education and professional training said that curriculum from class I-V has been revised and the revised curriculum encourages activity-based learning of the children. He said that the revised curriculum also emphasized upon the character-building and making of our children life-long learners. He said that work is also underway on the revision of curriculum of class 6-8.
