This is contrasted with the foreground image of two young girls in colorful traditional attire engaged with modern textbooks, backed by the image of a new school building. The program carries a message of inclusivity and progress, specifically highlighting the institutional priority of expanding educational opportunities for the youth, which is seen as the cornerstone of the nation’s long-term intellectual and economic development.
