PESHAWAR: A new report from the provincial education department in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) shows that an astounding 37% of youngsters are still not enrolled in school.
According to the research, 4.92 million boys and girls in the province do not currently have access to formal education, which presents a worrying picture.
In Kolai-Palas, Kohistan, where 80,333 children are not attending school, the issue is especially severe. 79% of children in the nearby regions of Lower and Upper Kohistan are not enrolled in any kind of school, which is another startlingly high percentage.
On the other hand, with just 10% of children not attending school, Upper Chitral is the district with the best performance in the province.
