PM Imran Khan said that the best way to reduce poverty is provision of opportunities to students from poor families. The vision behind the 200,000 scholarships over the next 4 years is human capital development. 50% of the scholarships are reserved for female students.
He regretted that a colonial-era educational system was functioning in the country and criticised the multiple education systems which exist in Pakistan. "Three parallel systems — English medium, Urdu medium and religious seminaries — were being run in the society which was a big injustice and no one tried to [fix it] or talk about it," he said.

"According to the last update I received, some 800,000 students are studying under the English medium system, 30 million under Urdu medium and 2.5 million students are enrolled in madressahs,"
he said.

Financial Coverage​ & Objectives

  • The project aims to support female education therefore 50% of scholarships are reserved for the females in the overall Project's target.
