ISLAMABAD: The federal government announced to introduce “Laptop for All” scheme next year for the students of Pakistan.
The chairman of Prime Minister’s Youth Program (PMYP), Rana Mashhood, in a press conference, announced the “Laptop for All” scheme under which the students will be able to get laptops from interest-free banks.
“The government was making efforts to provide free-of-interest laptops to students from banks on which decision would be taken within two or three days,” the PMYP chairman said.
The PMYP chairman indicated that the interim government was having numerous financial issues, and IMF constraints were also in place; nonetheless, the “Laptops for All” program would be included in the next fiscal budget.
Last year, there was an interim government, and when the current government took office, the time to obtain a budget was very short, therefore laptops were not provided to students, he explained.
