The federal government has launched an initiative to provide 200,000 youth with IT skills each year.

Ahsan Iqbal, the Federal Minister for Planning and Development, made this announcement during a recent ceremony.

The minister emphasized that the program's goal is to enable young people to make a substantial contribution to the expansion of the nation's digital economy.

He also underlined that by utilizing the inventiveness of the youth, Pakistan's art, culture, and legacy have the potential to be presented internationally as a distinctive brand.

On the other hand, Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) provided free matriculation education to students from Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), Balochistan, and Ex-FATA, according to Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Nasir Mahmood Sunday.

When discussing the free education policy for matriculation, Nasir Mahmood made this statement.

"We can uplift these far-flung areas by making education accessible to children in remote and neglected regions," he said. Programs from matric to PhD are accepting applications for the Spring 2025 semester.

The future of a country is significantly shaped by its level of higher education. It has the potential to change Pakistan in a number of ways. Higher education spending results in a workforce with greater expertise, which raises economic output and productivity.

Singapore and South Korea are two examples of nations that have shown how education-driven economies may grow quickly.

Having access to high-quality education strengthens underprivileged populations and lessens inequity. It offers a way for people to raise their socioeconomic standing. Citizens with higher levels of education are more likely to make constructive contributions to society, which lowers the likelihood of extremism and promotes political stability.
