Federal Ministry Urges Swift Action Against School Attacks

The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training has raised an alarm over the recent attacks on schools in the newly merged districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Peshawar. Terrorists have targeted educational institutions, particularly those focused on girls' education, posing a severe threat to the region's progress in education and gender equality.

The Federal Secretary of the Ministry has urgently contacted the Chief Secretary of KP, emphasizing the need for immediate action against this terrorism menace. The federal government is deeply concerned about the safety of children and the future of education in the area.

To address this critical issue, a joint task force comprising federal and provincial representatives is proposed to develop a comprehensive plan for reconstructing damaged schools and enhancing security measures. This task force aims to engage with communities to prevent further extremist activities and create a safe environment for education to thrive.

Protecting girls' education is vital for national development, and any attack on this fundamental right is considered an attack on the nation's future. The federal government has pledged full support to the provincial administration of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in securing educational institutions and rebuilding the destroyed schools promptly.

Collaboration between federal and provincial authorities is essential to ensure a safe and conducive environment for students and educators. Despite the challenges posed by extremist elements, the Ministry stresses the importance of protecting and promoting the right to education, especially for girls.

Safeguarding schools and promoting education, particularly for girls, is crucial for the progress and prosperity of the nation. The Ministry eagerly awaits a prompt response from the Chief Secretary's office to work together effectively in addressing this pressing issue.
