750 schools were destroyed by militants in KP, out of which 703 have been reconstructed & made operational ‪#‎KPKUpdates‬

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), 750 schools were bombed and destroyed by the militants which in many cases were up to 50% of the schools of any given area. Most of these schools were targeted in the night, with each school being targeted several times with the specific aim of completely destroying the structure and the sinister intent of squashing the zeal for education in the population. Thousands of parents and children discouraged and scared, resigned to the fact that education is never going to be a part of their lives which resulted in a massive school dropout in the region.

The current government in line with their mandate has allocated 28% of the provincial budget (the highest percentage of any other province ever in the history of Pakistan) for education. In another unprecedented achievement 117% of this budget has been utilized.

According to the Provincial Minister for Education Atif Khan, 703 such schools have been reconstructed and are made operational till date. In an effort to promote sports activities in government schools 111 grounds have been made operational and 81 are currently under construction. In addition to building the structures several initiatives have also been taken to increase school enrollments, especially for the girls. Considering that a single 6 classroom school can cost up to Rs 15 million, it has been a tremendous undertaking. However, the government of KP is adamant to fulfill its commitment to provide quality education to the children of KP as a part of their vision to move towards a progressive Pakistan through human development.

PESHAWAR: Peshawar will soon get its first zoo as the first phase of construction at a cost of Rs127 million has been approved.

Talking to The Express Tribune on Wednesday wildlife department’s chief conservator, Safdar, said forest department has given them 25 acres of land free of charge and government has allocated funds for the construction.

He also said the zoo will be constructed in phases and development will commence when funds are made available.

“A zoo serves several purposes including entertainment, education, awareness, research and development and most importantly, breeding of rare native species,” Safdar explained. He added the zoo will be situated on Palosai Road and will be easily accessible to people.

Walls up

“The first PC-1 costing Rs127 million has been approved by the government and the first phase will see the completion of the zoo’s boundary walls,” he said. Safdar stated the foundation laying ceremony will be performed within a week since a summary has already been sent to the chief minister.

The large zoo spanning over 25 acres will provide the denizens a place for recreation. Currently, Peshawar Development Authority has provided several hog deer and zebras for Bagh-e-Naran in Hayatabad but it lacks the facilities and infrastructure of a proper zoo.
