ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Education Shafqat Mehmood on Wednesday said that terrorism spread in Pakistan’s society due to a weak education system.
The minister was speaking at a ceremony in Islamabad where he said that the government’s aim was to support education as much as possible.
Highlighting the importance of madressahs, he said that the government has decided to take them along through various reforms. “Madressahs give education to children and don’t seek even a penny from the government,” he said. “We ended the void between the state and madressahs.”
The minister said that the government recognised the efforts of madressahs and paid tribute to them. The minister informed the audience that his ministry had completed the single national curriculum from grades 1 to 5.
