Pak province shuts 1000 govt schools over low enrolment
Authorities in Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province have shut around 1,000 primary government schools over low enrolment. They said the schools were constructed by the education department at unfeasible places and in violation of criteria merely on orders of Chief Minister Pervez Khattak. "We have no power to decide about the construction of a school on need basis," the authorities added.
