Regional Review on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA)
The latest episode of Da Simay Jaaj (regional review) on October 10, 2017, focused on the issues faced by the people of KP and FATA with special emphasis on the strike being observed by the teachers in the region. This has adversely impacted the studies of the students, and will inevitably affect the upcoming examination schedules.
Mr. Jamshed Khan, Chairman of Professor and Lecturer Association KP, was the studio guest in the show. He is of the opinion that the top priority of the government should be to ensure quality education. He further stated that the KP government is planning to privatize the educational institutions. He added that he is endeavoring to find a solution to the problem, but has been stonewalled thus far.
The program also highlighted the health concerns faced by the students due to the unhygienic food items selling in the schools without any check and balance. District Government Charsadda has imposed a ban on such food items but it has not been implemented.
Acting Nazim District Charsadda, Mr. Haji Haleem while speaking as a telephonic guest in the show, assured the public that the orders will be implemented soon.
As many as eight listeners took part in the program.
