Quetta:<\/strong> A historic technical school, established in 1942 to offer training in woodwork, metalwork, and electrical skills, has been revived after remaining non-functional for over 30 years. UNICEF\u2019s support has transformed the institution into a hub for technical education, now offering courses in woodworking, metalworking, and electrical work. Plans are also underway to introduce training in tourism, hospitality, and IT.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the reopening, Balochistan Education Minister, Raheela Hameed Khan Durrani emphasized the significance of technical education for employment. \u201cReviving this institution marks a milestone in empowering youth with the skills they need to secure jobs and contribute to the economy,\u201d she said. She further stressed, \u201cThe focus must now be on providing quality certification and improving teacher training to maintain high standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Secretary of Education, Saleh Muhammad Nasar lauded UNICEF\u2019s efforts in restoring the school. \u201cThis institution was equipped with the best machinery and materials but had been lying dormant for decades. Thanks to UNICEF, it is now operational,\u201d he said. He added, \u201cTechnical education is crucial for our youth, and we are committed to expanding its scope by introducing more vocational courses.\u201d<\/p>\n

The school\u2019s revival is expected to provide practical training for employment opportunities, helping local youth build careers in skilled trades and emerging sectors.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
