      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Punjab government has finalized a deal to oversee more than 3,600 government schools through a collaboration between the public and private sectors, on Thursday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ceremony was held in Lahore and featured Punjab’s Education Minister, Rana Sikandar Hayat, as the distinguished guest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This agreement will see 3,600 schools run by 21 non-governmental organizations, 12 educational networks, and a tech company focused on education.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The goal of this initiative is to integrate over 1.8 million children into the educational system.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat pointed out the initiative’s potential to create respectable job opportunities for many educated youths.&lt;/p&gt;
