JJT decides to launch Bright Future Campaign: Abdus Salam

ISLAMABAD, May 26 (SABAH): Juior Jinnah Trust (JJT) has decided to launch “Bright Future Campaign” to provide possible educational facilities to the deprived children whose family, social, or economic circumstances hinder their ability to learn at school.

While talking to media at Islamabad JJT Head Development & Partnership Abdus Salam said education lays the foundation for political, social and economic development of any country. A viable education system enables the nation to achieve its national goals. Pakistan as a developing country has faced critical problems of education since its inception and therefore, the system of education has failed to deliver according to the aspirations of the nation.

He added that Pakistan is facing tremendous challenges in the education sector, with 25 million children not attending schools at all. The “Bright Future Campaign” aim is to make possible availability of educational facilities to those down-trodden and deprived children.

He said that education is the road to national development. It creates sense of responsibility among the people. On the basis of education people not only realize their duties but also know how to achieve their national, societal and individual rights. One of the goals of education is to enable the people by enhancing their general consciousness regarding their national and international position as global citizens. This realization creates an atmosphere of trust and cooperation in the society.
