Impact of C. M. Punjab’s “Brick Kiln Workers’ Children” Initiative Upon Pro-vision of Quality Education to The Marginalized Children

Abstract

The Government of Punjab has been trying to provide quality education to all children of Punjab. However, the failure to successfully achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) within the specified time frame has stipulated new initiatives. So, the Government of Punjab has introduced an initiative for the provision of quality education to the children of brick kiln workers. This study analyzed the impact of Chief Minister’s initiative to educate children of brick kiln workers. The sample of the study included 100 teachers from twenty schools and 100 parents in the Multan district of Punjab. Data were collected through a questionnaire for teachers and parents. Analysis of data showed that the Chief Minister’s initiative for educating children of brick kiln workers had been an effective initiative for the provision of quality education to the children of brick kiln workers and eradicating child labour.
