LAHORE: Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that the single national curriculum was inevitable to end social disparity and it was a great success of the federal government to introduce the uniform curriculum in the country, ARY News reported on Wednesday.

He said that he got a briefing from Punjab Education Minister Murad Raas. The premier praised the efforts of the Punjab government in different sectors.

PM Khan said that people were unaware of the progress of Punjab province and they kept speculating about the destruction of the province whilst the provincial government was silently making progress in many sectors.

He criticised the past governments for paying no attention to the education sector as they were only focused on the next elections. He added that they increased the disparity in the education system instead of replacing the older system.

He reiterated that the role of e-governance was very important to end corruption.

Regarding the harassment incident that took place at Minar-e-Pakistan, PM Khan said that it was a shameful incident and he had never thought about the happening of such incident in the country.
