Even the royalties payments are not made. Centre owes KPK 4400 billion rupees. Just imagine what KP can achieve with this much money. Its like 2 years of KP budget.

Over 4,400 billion KP funds payable by federation: Sohail Afridi

Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa blasting the Punjab and federal governments Tuesday said that there is 'civil martial law' in Punjab.

Federal government have also stopped support for ex-FATA regions which it was supposed to do. Federal gocernment have just dumped FATA on KP while retaining its due share as well. So KP is being fcuked up by both sides. More people to support and helding back its share of money.


By the way, because this thread is on education so I will state a comparison here. Last year, KPK spend 21% of its annual budget on education, while Punjan spend 17.7%. Not much difference. But one year before that , punjab education budget was just 14% of its total budget. Its good thing that they went from 14% to 17.7% in one year. Hope in this budget they touch 20%.

Like PPP in Sindh, majority of the spend is on ghost schools with ghost teachers and money going into the blackhole of corruption.

Punjab is not spending enough but the money does go where it should be going to mostly.

Very frustrating how Pakistanis are unable to self audit themselves. There should be no compromises when it comes to health and education.

Have you ever been to KP, or talked to someone ? Are you even aware of ground situation ?

In KPESE, there is a thing called "Independent Monitoring and Data Collection Unit (IMDCU)" , 800 monitoring staff were hired by KP elementary school system in 2014. Since then this unit regularly pay surprise visits to schools. Check teachers attendance register, count teachers. Report any discrepancies.

Do you know that to take leave for a day, a teacher is supposed to ask for that leave not from his/her principle but district education office (DEO) ? So incase monitoring came to school and one teacher is absent and she/he didn't take leave from DEO office, then action is taken against that teacher by DEO office and monitoring team.

2 of my family members are govt school teachers in KP. I am sure i know more than you. Here a teacher cant take leave without first asking written permission and waiting for its approval from DEO office. And you saying KP have ghost schools ? You need to give some proof of the ghost schools in KP. Maybe some recent census or some report or something.

Monitoring system for govt schools

PESHAWAR, Feb 3: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Elementary and Secondary Education Department has decided to put in place a new monitoring system to check the performance and attendance of teachers and students in all schools of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, according to s

KpK largely resolved it's ghosts schools issue back in 2017-19. It was largely due to small masjid level schools in far away areas. They were largely non-functional but still staff were drawing salaries. So KP shut them down and merged them with nearby primary schools.
