PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had launched a special admission drive to re-enroll out-of-school children at the start of the academic year.
Faisal Tarkai, Provincial Minister of Secondary Education, highlighted that over the past decade, under two Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf administrations, health and education have been paramount. Despite the implementation of educational emergency, 4.7 million children remain out of school.
The launch ceremony witnessed the admission of four children, symbolizing the commencement of the campaign.
Masood Khan, KP Secretary of Secondary Education, outlined the objective to enroll one million children within the next two months. However, he acknowledged the challenges in public schools, where essential facilities and staff, including teachers, remain inadequate.
