Not only has the expansion of primary and secondary education been linked to accelerated economic growth, poverty eradication, and improved income equality, but education also appears to be closely associated with social enrichment and inclusion, the upgrading of human capital, increased opportunities, and enhanced freedom and welfare. That is why, as Pakistan’s prime minister, I have placed universal access to education very high on the national agenda.
伊斯兰堡—教育，尤其是学校教育的重要性怎么强调都不过分。中小学教育的普及与加快经济增长、减少贫困和增强收入平等直接相关，而教育更是与社会的多样化和包容性、人力资本的升级、机会的增加以及自由与福利的巩固紧密相关。因此，作为巴基斯坦总理，我将教育普及作为国家日程的重中之重。
