During a provincial cabinet meeting on Monday Balochistan’s Chief Minister, Jam Kamal Khan approved a five-year Education Sector Plan (2020-25).
The proposal was prepared in collaboration with a ‘Global Alliance for Education’ multi-stakeholder and funding forum, and under the supervision of the Secondary Education Department’s Policy Planning and Implementation Unit.
At the meeting, the CM emphasized the province’s need for education, health, and sports and announced that the financial needs of the plan would be addressed by providing the provincial government and its development partners with funding.
