Capital schools to get Internet connectivity

ISLAMABAD:

Under the "Smart Islamabad" project, all schools in the federal capital, including those in both rural and urban areas, will be centralised and provided with internet connectivity and other resources to improve the quality of education.

"The Ministry of Education is actively collaborating with the Ministry of Information Technology on this initiative," said an official of the Ministry of Information Technology, explaining that the centralised education system would improve educational standards in the capital without requiring additional resources.

Under the "Smart Islamabad" initiative, the Ministry of Information Technology will soon introduce the "One Patient, One Identity" system in the federal capital. This system will store a patient's complete medical record, making it accessible across all hospitals in the area, including basic health units.

The CDA is contributing to the project, which will soon provide Islamabad residents access to 150 services, including document attestation, certificate issuance, and token tax payments
