“Your dedication, passion, and commitment to education are the cornerstone of our society’s progress. You not only impart knowledge but also inspire, motivate, and nurture the next generation of leaders” the Education Minister mentioned.

Meanwhile, Governor Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Faisal Karim Kundi emphasized teachers’ contributions are invaluable, as they not only impart knowledge but also play a crucial role in character building and national development.

In a statement on World Teachers’ Day, he expressed his heartfelt appreciation for all teachers, whom he described as the architects of the nation dedicated to the education and upbringing of children.

However, Governor Kundi lamented the deteriorating condition of universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, attributing this decline to the provincial government’s incompetence.
