Emphasizing the need and importance of students’ moral development, the Chief Minister said that the government is moving towards introducing ethics as a subject in the curriculum, as education without proper training is incomplete.
He added that education, combined with character building, produces responsible, principled, and successful individuals. The Chief Minister stressed to school administrations and teaching staff to focus on quality education and to take practical steps to address existing shortcomings in government schools.
He remarked that teachers and doctors are key pillars of society, noting that teachers shape the future of children while doctors are entrusted with public health, therefore sincerity and responsibility in these professions are of fundamental importance.
