Quetta — At a cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister Mir Sarfraz Bugti, the provincial government approved a policy concerning a mineral development fund, draft tourism and cultural policies, and several administrative and educational reforms. According to the provincial government, the measures are intended to improve resource use and support economic development.

An October 10 Dawn report said a non-formal education law aimed to bring approximately 1.6 million out-of-school children into education. The cabinet also approved two shifts in public schools and incentives to revive closed industrial units, and discussed making electronic bidding mandatory for selected public purchases above Rs500,000.

These are approved policies. Their actual effects will depend on budgets, implementation, the availability of teachers, industrial investment and results on the ground.
