Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has launched a landmark initiative offering free higher education to the children of industrial and mine workers at COMSATS University.
\nUnder the program, the Punjab government will bear all educational expenses, marking a historic step towards uplifting the working class through education.
\nThe CM talking about the initiative said, \u201cChildren of workers will be admitted to seven campuses of COMSATS University, and the Punjab government will pay their fees.
\n\u201d She added that workers are the crown of the nation, and her government is determined to provide them with every essential facility, especially in the fields of education and healthcare.
\n\u201cThe doors of higher education are now open for every worker\u2019s child in Punjab. No child will be deprived of education due to financial hardship,\u201d she affirmed, adding that these measures reflect a commitment to social justice that has no precedent in the province\u2019s history.
\nCM Maryam Nawaz added that children of registered workers, including those of deceased and disabled workers, would be eligible for this opportunity across all major campuses of COMSATS University, Islamabad, Lahore, Abbottabad, Wah, Attock, Sahiwal, and Vehari.
\nShe noted that the initiative is a testament to her government\u2019s inclusive vision and dedication to improving the lives of laborers through meaningful, long-term support.
\nRelevant authorities briefed the Chief Minister that the Worker Welfare Fund has opened the application process and that deadlines vary by campus, ranging from early July to mid-August.
\nApplicants are required to apply online through the university\u2019s official website and must also submit relevant documents at the admission office. These include copies of the worker\u2019s CNIC, registered worker certificate, the student\u2019s CNIC or B-Form, and proof of social security or old age benefit enrollment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
