00:00And in Punjab, we often talk about the focus on education.
00:04Governments change, but their priorities don't change in the field of education.
00:08Which is a very good thing.
00:09There was a time when education was being done in Punjab.
00:11After that, there were Danish schools, etc, etc.
00:15They were given duties, that the children who go to school,
00:18they don't have holidays.
00:20So these were very good measures.
00:22Children are provided food in schools.
00:24Now this system has started in KP as well.
00:26So anyway, we are talking about AI.
00:29So the Minister of Education, Rana Sikandar Hayat,
00:31has decided to start tech education in 300 public schools in the Middle, Metric and Antin.
00:37So Hassan Hafeez, please tell us more about this,
00:40who is present with the Minister of Education.
00:43Yes, a very big decision has been made by the Education Council,
00:46that tech education has been decided to start in different schools in Punjab.
00:52What is tech education?
00:54What things will come in technology?
00:56And what will be the syllabus?
00:58Right now, the Minister of Education, Rana Sikandar Hayat, is present with us.
01:02First, please tell us, what is tech education?
01:04Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim, Sir.
01:06There are two very important aspects in this.
01:08One is that, always Metric with Science, Metric with Arts.
01:13There were only two in this country.
01:15But now, there is a need for technology.
01:17So wherever the world has gone,
01:19according to the vision of Chief Minister,
01:21we have made a plan to introduce Middle Tech, Metric Tech, Inter Tech.
01:25This year, we are introducing technology courses in Grade 9.
01:30Along with this, we are also introducing skills in Metric and FA.
01:35Next week, he will be ready for viewership.
01:37Please visit him.
01:39And then, eventually, the world's transition model,
01:41that a child is so heavy,
01:43that he cannot lift,
01:45there is no point in giving him.
01:47Please teach him those things, so that his mind goes towards creative things.
01:50The pilot project that you have started,
01:52and the decision that you have made,
01:54which technology will be used?
01:56Starting from Artificial Intelligence,
01:58to Facial Recognition,
02:00Chip Making, Data Engineering, Coding,
02:02Python, it gradually depends on which class you are in.
02:06But we will have to teach skills from Grade 5 onwards.
02:09We will have to equip those children.
02:11And all the skills that the government and private institutes are teaching,
02:14we have taken them on board as well.
02:16It is a very big decision by the Minister of Education,
02:18Punjab Rana Sikandar Hayat.
02:20The pilot project has been started.
02:22Keeping the modern technology in mind,
02:24it will be implemented all over Punjab.
02:26Excellent. Thank you so much, Hassan.
02:28As I was saying, in Punjab,
02:30children will be able to take advantage of AI technology in schools.
02:32They will be given education.
02:34Now, let's come back to Sindh once again.
02:36We were saying that in Sukkur,
02:38great steps are being taken in the field of education.
02:40And these revolutionary steps have been taken.
02:42To talk about this, we have with us,
02:44the Chairman of the District Council of Sukkur,
02:46Syed Kumail Haider Shah.
02:48Mr. Shah, thank you so much for joining us.
02:50First of all, Ashfaq tried to tell us
02:52how scholarships will be given.
02:54Workshops are being held.
02:56Wi-Fi zones have been created.
02:58Free Wi-Fi.
03:00In the field of education,
03:02what steps have been taken,
03:04which were necessary,
03:06and because of which a lot can be improved?
03:12Mr. Kumail Shah, can you hear me?
03:14Yes, I can hear you.
03:16Absolutely.
03:18First of all,
03:20I would like to thank all of you
03:22for highlighting this issue.
03:24We started
03:26the CSSP
03:28Preparation Scholar
03:30Service.
03:32In which,
03:34people from our interior Sindh,
03:36or people from villages,
03:38villages,
03:40had to go to Lahore Academies,
03:42Karachi,
03:44Hyderabad,
03:46to get admission.
03:48There were a lot of fees.
03:50That was paid.
03:52We have one of the
03:54finest institutes,
03:56which is called IBA Sukkur.
03:58We have planned
04:00to start giving
04:02CSSP classes there.
04:04Preparation classes,
04:06in which all their expenses
04:08will be paid by the Sukkur
04:10District Council.
04:12They will be accommodated,
04:14they will be transported,
04:16and their professors
04:18will teach them there.
04:20Our local
04:22bureaucrats, who are
04:24role models,
04:26CSSP officers,
04:28SSP officers,
04:30Deputy Commissioners,
04:32will share their experiences
04:34with them weekly.
04:36Not only for Sukkur,
04:38we have also
04:40set up a 5-5% quota
04:42for their districts.
04:44If their students,
04:46children,
04:48are passing the criteria test,
04:50then they will also
04:52get a 5% quota
04:54in the same institute
04:56for their district.
04:58The students who live in
05:00IBA Sukkur's hostels,
05:02from Kharipur, Shikarpur,
05:04Jaitmabad, Ghotki,
05:06Kashmorgandkot, Ladkana,
05:08and other neighbouring districts,
05:10will be able to
05:12take different courses.
05:14This is a very good
05:16project for all of them.
05:18A lot of people are participating
05:20in this project.
05:22What is the collaboration
05:24between the Higher Education
05:26Commission and you?
05:28What are the benefits
05:30you will get from it?
05:32What is the procedure
05:34for selecting the students
05:36for the IBA test?
05:38The students who
05:40qualify for the IBA test,
05:42will be tested
05:44by the CSS.
05:46The students who
05:48qualify for the IBA test,
05:50will be tested by the CSS.
05:52The students who
05:54qualify for the IBA test,
05:56will be tested by the CSS.
05:58The students who
06:00qualify for the IBA test,
06:02will be tested by the CSS.
06:04If a student
06:06wants to
06:08participate in the IBA test,
06:10they can do so
06:12by getting a
06:1415% self-announcement
06:16from the IBA.
06:18for the IBA test.
06:20for the IBA test.
06:22For the rest,
06:2480%
06:26is the scholarship
06:28from Sakka District College.
06:30This will be
06:32enhanced
06:34in the future.
06:42Will these scholarships be increased?
06:44Yes, absolutely.
06:46Our aim
06:48is to
06:50achieve
06:525 people
06:54from this
06:56project
06:58to become CSP officers
07:00This is a big
07:02achievement for us.
07:04I have also written
07:06a letter to the
07:08neighbouring
07:10mayors and
07:12chairmen
07:14to contribute
07:16to this project
07:18so that it
07:20gets more scope.
07:22We are also
07:24starting the first
07:26air ambulance
07:28collaboration
07:30with a private company.
07:32The same pattern is being
07:34implemented
07:36not only for the
07:38Sakkar District Council,
07:40but also for the
07:42neighbouring mayors
07:44so that the
07:46expenses
07:48will be easily manageable.
07:50We have a lot of
07:52health activities
07:54and hospitals
07:56because Sakkar is a hub
07:58and it is connecting to Punjab
08:00and Balochistan.
08:02Ziauddin Hospital,
08:04NICVD, SIUT,
08:06Cancer Hospital
08:08are all under construction.
08:10We are also starting
08:12a new project
08:14called Air Ambulance
08:16with Sakkar District Council.
08:18Are you also starting
08:20a ferry service?
08:22It has already started.
08:24It has been 7-8 months
08:26since we started the ferry service.
08:28It is Wi-Fi free.
08:30We have also started
08:32the first Engineering University
08:34with the help of the
08:36District Council.
08:38This Engineering University
08:40is based on agro-basis.
08:42Our area is
08:44agriculture-based
08:46and there are a lot of
08:48agriculturalists here.
08:50The main focus
08:52is agro-based.
08:54Our land,
08:56how we fertilize, coffee,
08:58anything that people don't know about.
09:00We have routine agriculture
09:02that has been going on
09:04for years.
09:06We have cotton,
09:08wheat,
09:10sunflower.
09:12This university will actually
09:14teach farmers and landowners
09:16that
09:18their land
09:20can be used for coffee beans
09:22and other things.
09:24Agro-based Engineering 1st University
09:26in Sakkar.
09:28Excellent.
09:30I hope
09:32more work will be done on this.
09:34Thank you so much.
