KP Finalizes Plan to Trace Out-of-School Children

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government has finalized an integrated strategy to accurately identify out-of-school children (OOSC) across the province. This decision, made in a meeting chaired by Provincial Minister Arshad Ayub Khan, emphasizes improving data mapping and strengthening inter-departmental collaboration. The comprehensive plan involves geographic mapping, analyzing socio-economic conditions, and assessing reasons for non-attendance to ensure every child has access to education. It will utilize modern technology, digital mapping, and an integrated data system to compile reliable data for effective policymaking. Departments including Local Government, Social Welfare, Health, and Education will jointly implement the action plan, making this a top government priority.
