On this historic March 23, 2026, the Minister of State for Federal Education and Professional Training, Wajiha Qamar, has issued a powerful call to action for the nation. As Pakistan celebrates Resolution Day, the Minister emphasized that the true strength of a sovereign state lies not just in its borders, but in the minds of its people.
Paying a heartfelt tribute to the founding fathers, Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Allama Iqbal, Qamar reminded the public that their vision of a separate homeland was built on the pillars of faith, unity, and discipline. She highlighted that today’s Pakistan is the living reflection of that determination, but warned that the journey toward a truly progressive and resilient future is far from over.
At the heart of her message was a renewed pledge to prioritize education as the “cornerstone of national progress.” In an age of rapid global change, she stressed that empowering the youth with not just knowledge, but also critical thinking and specialized skills, is essential for building a prosperous society.
The Minister also took a moment to honor the martyrs and unsung heroes who have sacrificed their lives to defend the stability of the country. She noted that their courage serves as a constant inspiration for the current generation to work collectively toward an “enlightened Pakistan.”
As celebrations continue across the country, Qamar’s message serves as a reminder that the best way to honor the past is by investing in the future—one classroom at a time.
