ISLAMABAD, Jul 28 (ABC): Punjab will train at least 10,000 teachers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and green skills under a $100 million Asian Development Bank (ADB)-funded programme aimed at strengthening secondary education in the province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to official documents available with Wealth Pakistan, the Responsive, Ready and Resilient STEM Secondary Education in Punjab programme will run until June 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
