The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to hand over eight primary schools to the private sector, Peshwar Sept. 18.The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has decided to hand over eight primary schools to the private sector, sparking controversy among educators and the public. The schools include:

– Girls Schools:
– Primary School Mesar Abbottabad
– Primary School Kotla Jandir Bala Abbottabad
– Primary School Kotkai Sher Khan Lakki Marwat
– Primary School Fakirabad Peshawar
– Primary School Akhun Bandah Haripur
– Primary School Yasinabad Yarak D.I. Khan
– Boys Schools:
– Primary School Shaheed Upper Dir
– Primary School Sarara Haripur

The monthly fee for these schools is expected to be around 3,000 rupees, which critics argue will make education unaffordable for poor children. The All Teachers Association has vowed to strongly oppose this decision, calling it a move to shut down access to education for underprivileged children.

Protests are planned across all districts on September 26, with teachers and supporters gathering at press clubs at 12 pm to record their dissent. This decision has raised concerns about the privatization of education and its impact on marginalized communities [no specific source cited, as the information provided doesn’t match any of the search results].
