The minister said government was focusing on education which had a close relation with the knowledge-based economy. She said Punjab had made great strides in education while other provinces had also increased their education budgets.
“For the first time in the history of the country, pre-school education has also become a priority and Montessori classes are being organised in public sector,” she added.
