With a view to facilitate the special children to live a normal life through education, Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has envisaged an ambitious plan to arrange need-based education for the special children in their nearby schools.
The pilot project will be launched from Lahore and it is expected that this educational 'socialisation' will sensitise normal people about the needs of special persons around them. Chairman PEF, Raja Muhammad Anwar stated this while talking to a five-member delegation of office bearers of different NGOs associated with the welfare of special persons at his residence on Sunday. High officials of the foundation were also present on the occasion that briefed the delegation about the public private-partnership model of PEF.
Anwar said that Punjab government is also working hard to strengthen the institutions of special education in public sector and informed that Rs35 million will be spent on setting up of computer labs in 37 special education institutions in the province. It is expected that this will provide conducive learning environment for the special students, he maintained.
The civil society should come forward to ensure enabling environment for the special people so that they could become useful part of the society and this will be a giant leap towards achieving the goal of a welfare state, he concluded.
