According to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the government’s top objective is to encourage foreign investment in the nation.

He spoke to a group of well-known and powerful British businessmen in Lahore who were led by Zuber Issa.

Among the delegation were prominent members of the UK business community.

The Prime Minister claimed that the Special Investment Facilitation Council’s one-window operation offers the greatest benefits to the business and trading sector.

He claimed that because of the government’s efforts, the nation’s economy has been growing recently, which has increased investor confidence.

The team was urged by the prime minister to make investments in Pakistan.

Additionally, opinions were shared regarding the investigation of new cooperation opportunities and the improvement of business-to-business ties between Pakistan and the United Kingdom.

The group affirmed their belief in the stability and long-term growth of the national economy while applauding the prime minister’s economic initiatives.

SIFC was established to improve the ease of doing business for potential investors through a “Whole of Government”Approach”—achieving optimal horizontal-vertical synergy and facilitation by the Pakistan Army—and to attract investments from friendly countries in selected sectors through an empowered organisation that serves as a “single-window” platform for facilitation.

The children will learn the newest skills in these state-of-the-art IT labs, expanding their employment prospects.

These IT laboratories will be constructed in sixteen degree colleges spread throughout various parts of Islamabad.

Students will take six-month courses in artificial intelligence (AI), game development, data science, and block chain in these IT labs.

Approximately 1,000 students will have access to courses in the first phase, which is being implemented in response to market demand.

The National Vocational and Technical Training Commission has worked with esteemed universities such as NUST, National Skills University, COMSATS, and NUML to produce these courses.

The second week of this month will mark the start of these classes. For these courses, about 3,600 students have signed up.

There are 505 examination centres for students spread over the city.

The morning session will cover the science group, which is currently working on the ninth and tenth computer theory papers, while the afternoon session will cover the general group.

Secondary board exams will end on May 31.

The Education Department has dispatched fifty vigilance officers. Mobile phones are strictly prohibited in examination centres, and the use of photostat equipment near examination centres during exams is completely prohibited.

Section 144 is enforced surrounding examination centres, and an order has been issued to ensure that electricity is available at all times during exams.

Meanwhile, the negligence of private school administrators has jeopardised the future of matriculation students, since a huge number of students have yet to obtain their admit cards.

Certain private school administrators stated they employed an agent to handle the submission of students’ exam forms and money. However, these agents, along with the papers and money, appear to have vanished.

In response, a spokeswoman for the Karachi matriculation board blamed the delay on private schools’ failure to submit applications on time.

While conceding that schools that submitted applications online may print admit cards digitally, the spokesman stated that the sudden rise in printing requests in recent days had placed a strain on the system.

The spokesman also suggested that school administrators receive admit card prints directly from the board’s website.
