In his address at the Launching Ceremony of the Ehsaas School Stipend program in Islamabad, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that an important aspect of this program is that it will help bring the out of school children especially the girls to the educational institutions.

The prime minister regretted that no attention was paid in the past for the promotion of education and that is why about 20 million children today are out of school.

Emphasizing upon the education of girls to uplift the society, the prime minister was appreciative of keeping the stipend of female students higher in the Ehsaas School Stipend Program.

Sania Nishtar said that the poverty survey has been completed and the Ehsaas program will be further accelerated in the days ahead.
