ISLAMABAD Pakistan is devising a policy under which only female teachers
will teach at primary level as they have proved to be the best at this
level, Federal Education Minister Javed Ashraf Qazi has said. Qazi,
speaking at a function, organised by the National Education Assessment
System (NEAS), said the government also wanted to include the subject of
Urdu as a language and not the medium of instruction in coming years.
