PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has announced that it will take strict action against schools demonstrating below 40% results.
To address growing concerns over educational quality and student performance, the government plans to implement corrective measures to improve educational standards.
The decision follows a series of assessments that revealed that several schools, both public and private, have struggled to maintain acceptable academic outcomes, with a large number of students failing to meet basic academic standards. The KP government, which has long prioritized education reforms, has expressed concern over the widening performance gap and its impact on future generations.
Authorities have identified several factors for the decline in pass rates, including a shortage of qualified teachers, outdated curriculum, inadequate resources, and poor infrastructure. There are also concerns about the level of student engagement and discipline in some institutions.
The provincial education department has launched an investigation into these issues, which is focused on identifying the root causes of poor performance.
