In a press release, President Tanzeem-e-Asateza,, Khyber,Shairifullah Afridi said that government boys\u2019 and girls\u2019 primary schools in the district were already struggling with a shortage of teaching staff, and the departure of hundreds of PTC-funded teachers would further worsened the situation. The learning process of thousands of students is being directly affected, he added. Many primary schools in the district were currently operating with only two or three teachers who were forced to teach various classes simultaneously, he added and said such conditions made it extremely difficult to provide quality education and achieve meaningful learning outcomes. He criticized the government\u2019s claims of promoting an educational emergency and improving literacy rates, arguing that the persistent shortage of teachers at the primary level contradicts these objectives. \u201cQuality education cannot be ensured when schools lack adequate teaching staff,\u201d he said. Our Correspondent<br \/>\nAfridi also expressed disappointment that despite the fact that the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa belongs to Khyber District, local primary schools continue to suffer from a severe lack of teachers.<br \/>\nHe insisted the provincial government and the Chief Minister to take immediate notice of the issue and adopt practical measures to address the crisis.<br \/>\nThe Teachers\u2019 organization Khyber demanded the permanent recruitment of teachers for all primary schools in the district and called for the deployment of at least six teachers in every school to ensure the provision of quality education to students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KHYBER: Primary schools across the district Khyber are facing a severe educational crisis following the termination of hundreds of teachers appointed under the Parent-Teacher Council (PTC) fund,, the head of the teachers\u2019 organization regretted.
