Zindagi Trust’s efforts lauded

Saturday, September 20, 2008 Karachi Sindh Minister for Information Shazia Marri has said that public-private partnership was pivotal in the effort to further improving the education sector. She said this on her visit to the SMB Fatima Jinnah Government Girls Secondary School here Friday, which is being managed by the Zindagi Trust. Chairman of the Trust, Shehzad Roy, was also present. She said that education was the core sector for development and prosperity of any nation and country. The private sector joining hands with the government could work miracles, as has been done in the case of this school. Marri said that the transformation of this school from an ordinary government institution to a well-equipped and wisely managed school is remarkable. She assured the Zindagi Trust that the government would provide all possible assistance. President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani will also be informed about this successful project and will be requested to help and encourage such endeavours.
