Background of the Scheme
The Higher Education Commission formerly ran two initiatives (Prime Minister Laptop Scheme Phase-I and II). The Higher Education Commission was the program’s executing agency under Prime Minister Laptop scheme II, and about 500,000 laptops were successfully distributed through a transparent online system throughout public sector universities and technical institutions, including Federal and FATA campuses. In order to ensure openness, information was made available on the HEC website.
It is a recognized truth that intellectual capital determines a country’s economic progress. Pakistan is unique in that about 63% of its population is under the age of 30. If not addressed properly, the shortage of young people will have a negative influence on Pakistan as a country, depending on how the country invests in the youth by providing them with excellent education, jobs, and meaningful engagement opportunities.
The government has recognized the significance of this reality and has launched particular programs to exploit the potential of the youth, reduce unemployment by offering necessary skills, and foster an entrepreneurial culture.
Introduction about Phase-III (2022-23):
Pakistan’s Honourable Prime Minister declared that the government will offer laptop computers to bright youngsters under Prime Minister Laptop scheme. The program intends to provide laptops to young and brilliant students studying in public sector Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) across the country including Azad Jammu and Kashmir. ECNEC has authorized the project as the Prime Minister Youth Laptop Scheme (PMYLS) Phase-III. With this aim, 100,000 computers will be awarded on merit to brilliant pupils using an online transparent method. The Higher Education Commission has successfully implemented two similar systems in the past.
