Free education vital to end child labour
First Lady says every kid has right to live his childhood to the fullest
ISLAMABAD:
First Lady Samina Arif Alvi on Friday said children are the future of the country and ensuring for them free-of-charge education is vital to eradicate child labour. Giving the children free education can secure their future and help them move forward in challenging times, she said in her address at the distribution ceremony of educational kits among students of the Pakistan Bait-ul-Maal School for Rehabilitation of Child Labour.
The wife of the President of Pakistan said every child had the right to live his childhood to the fullest and have access to school education. Instead of toys, if these innocent hands are forced to have tools, the situation will speak about the apathy of society towards its children, she said.
