PESHAWAR: The Provincial Cabinet meeting of the Private Education Network (PEN) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was held under the chairmanship of President Muhammad Saleem Khan, where strong reservations were expressed over the government’s decision to abolish examination centers in private educational institutions and shift them to public schools. Provincial General Secretary Arsalan Khan Sadozai and other cabinet members attended the meeting. The PEN leadership unanimously rejected this government decision, terming it unfair to private educational institutions and students. President Muhammad Saleem Khan stated that abolishing examination centers in private institutions is an anti-education move that will create difficulties for thousands of students and their parents. He said this step would divide the education system and contradict the principles of a uniform education system. He further added that it was shocking that this decision was made just ten days before the exams, which could lead to chaos. PEN leaders expressed concerns that the lack of adequate facilities for private school students in public schools would negatively impact the educational environment. APP
