Islamabad to have model schools for Christians

The Pakistan government plans to build model schools for Christian children living in slums at least in the federal capital Islamabad, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Babar Awan said in the the National Assembly. The minister said the recent incidents had demonstrated the need for “more attention” to the children of minority communities. He referred to poor Christians living in the capital’s slums and said: “We will build model schools for them.” It was not immediately clear whether the plan would apply only to Islamabad, which is directly controlled by the federal government, or to other cities in the country as well.
