ISLAMABAD: (Parliament Times) Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has advised young students to learn the skills of entrepreneurship to drive Pakistan towards the new heights of progress and prosperity.
“In Pakistan, we lack young entrepreneurs and that’s why we are lagging
behind in terms of economic and human development,” said the President
while addressing as chief guest the “High Achievers, International
University, Placement & Students Recognition Ceremony 2019” of Millennium
Roots Schools here the other day.
Among others, the ceremony was also addressed by Chief Executive Officer of
Millennium Roots Schools, Faisal Mushtaq and principals of the schools
while Millennial rising stars of 2018-19 shared their success stories.
The President maintained that there was a significant role
for entrepreneurs to spark economic development by starting new businesses,
creating jobs and contributing to improvement in various key economic goals
in the country.
“Our students should be given quality education, equipped with the skills
essential for success in future and taught necessary discipline,” he
stressed.
He said that the private education system and private educational
institutions should be encouraged to flourish because they were not only
reducing the burden on the shoulders of the government but were also
raising the standard of education besides enhancing overall literacy rate
in the country.
The president also advised the students to demonstrate utmost discipline
and self-control by not allowing impulses or feelings to dictate choices in
their educational and professional career.
“Talent alone is nothing without grit and determination…Talent and high
achievements must be accompanied by self-control and discipline.”
