A MEAGRE CONFERENCE TO HONOUR 'LITERACY DAY'

While most of the populace of Pakistan was understandably unaware that yesterday was the World Literacy Day, it was the ignorance of the media and the government that was most astonishing. All that was done was to have the Education minister to adress some people in Marriott hotel. The minister asserted that we have been going the wrong way in proliferating education in Pakitan for the last 62 years. He also contended the notion that the new government plan was working in the direction of making education widely available and accessible. There was nothing said about the future plans or changes that the Minister intends to implement in the educational system.
