The National Assembly on Tuesday approved a bill that requires a 25% share for free university education for deserving students throughout the country, said Express News.
The Chamber of Representatives of Parliament approved two key pieces of legislation, and the highlight is a new law that requires universities to assign 25% of their seats for free education to students who deserve students financially.
The Popular Party of Pakistan (PPP) MNA Agha Rafiullah requested the inclusion of a 25% share for free education within the bill of the Institute of Science and Technology specifically for deserving and high performance students. The amendment was approved by the Assembly.

However, an amendment proposed by Jamiat Ulema-E-Islam (Jui) Mna Aliya Kamran was rejected, which opposed the bill with the argument that education falls under the provincial jurisdiction.
In addition to the Free Education Background Bill, the Chamber approved the draft Institute of Science and Technology 2024 and the Board of the International Exam Board 2024.
The Chamber also approved the bill of the International Exam Board 2024, presented by the president of the Committee of Cashmira, MNA Rana Muhammad Qasim Noon, which seeks to establish an internationally recognized exam authority within Pakistan.
After the approval of the bills, the National Assembly session was postponed until 11:00 am the next day.
