As per details shared by the KP education department, the Gandapur government has decided to provide free transport facilities for female students across the province’s remote districts.
Due to the long distances from their homes, many girls are forced to drop out of school, the education department said.
To address this issue, the KP government has decided to provide free transport services in districts including Kohistan, Torghar, Hangu, and Lakki Marwat.
The initiative will also cover Dera Ismail Khan, Charsadda, Kohat, and Bannu, ensuring that more students can continue their education without transportation barriers.
The education department has officially notified all district education officers regarding the implementation of this scheme.
