Textbook Shortage Disrupts Education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Government schools in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are facing a significant shortage of textbooks, despite the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Textbook Board claiming to have printed 34 million books as requested by the education department. Teachers report that many students, especially in grades 9 and 10, have not received essential books like physics and biology. Efforts to reuse old books have been hampered by their poor condition and low return rates. The shortage is attributed to inaccurate student data and the failure of students to return old books. Teachers are urging the government to ensure immediate delivery of free textbooks to prevent further learning loss.
