Deputy Commissioner Ilyas Kibzai, in his address, emphasized that education is the foundation of a bright future and the guarantee of societal progress. He noted that the provincial government is committed to facilitating talented and deserving students in accessing higher education.
He urged students to take full advantage of the BEEF scholarships and submit applications on time, while directing education officials and heads of institutions to ensure maximum awareness and guidance so that no eligible student is deprived due to lack of information.
He added that the youth of Sibi possess immense potential, and with proper opportunities, guidance, and support, they can become valuable assets for the province and the country. Talented students, he said, not only uplift their families but also contribute significantly to the development of society and the nation.
