HASSAN ABDAL (DNA) :Prime Minister Justice (retd) Nasir ul Mulk Wednesday urged upon the students to seek knowledge with utmost dedication and also focus equally on learning ethical values.

During a visit to his alma mater Presentation Convent High School, Wah, he said education could play a significant role in bringing positive reformation in the society.

The prime minister recalled his early years at the school where he studied from 1957 to 1963 as a boarding student starting at the age of six.

He remembered with fondness Sister James who despite known for her strictness gave him double promotion in a class after judging his capabilities.

He said as he belonged to the far-flung area of Swat, he used to visit his hometown only twice a year, adding that the only mode of communication with family was through letters once a month.

“However, when you leave this school, you cherish it as the best time of your life,” he told the students in audience and paid tributes to the teachers, respectfully called as Sisters, who remained caring towards the students even while maintaining discipline.
