The Danish Schools Authority has decided to increase the admission quota for students from Balochistan as part of its efforts to provide wider educational opportunities.
The decision came during a meeting of the Board of Governors of the Danish Schools Authority. Punjab Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat chaired the meeting and reviewed several education initiatives.
The minister said the authority would also introduce a special quota for students from Bangladesh on the instructions of the Prime Minister. He added that Bangladeshi students would begin studying at Danish Schools next year.
Students Participate in Education Planning
During the meeting, Rana Sikandar Hayat invited two female students from Danish Schools who achieved top positions in matriculation examinations.
The minister included both students in discussions and sought their opinions on different educational matters. He said involving students in decision-making could help improve the quality of education.
Officials informed the meeting that around 1,100 students from other provinces are currently studying under special quotas in the Danish School project.
Moreover, 110 Danish School students are receiving full scholarships at Beaconhouse University.
AI Syllabus and Scholarship Plans Introduced
The meeting also reviewed the introduction of an artificial intelligence syllabus for students from grades 6 to 9.
Rana Sikandar Hayat directed officials to develop a global scholarship system for Danish School students. The initiative aims to provide talented students with more opportunities for higher education.
The minister also instructed authorities to complete ongoing Danish School projects in Mianwali, Dera Ghazi Khan, Fazilpur, Arifwala, and Phoolnagar as soon as possible.
Danish Schools Expansion Plans Continue
The education minister said the government is considering proposals to expand the Danish School project further.
The initiative aims to provide quality education to deserving students across different regions. By increasing provincial quotas, introducing modern subjects, and creating scholarship opportunities, authorities hope to improve access to better educational resources.
The latest decisions reflect the government’s focus on expanding educational opportunities for students from underserved areas while strengthening the Danish School network.
