ISLAMABAD: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government will allocate 70 percent of the new educational institutions to be opened in the province to girls in order to improve female education. This was stated by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly Speaker Asad Qaisar while speaking as chief guest at the first home economics conference organised by the Society of Home Economists at the Archives Library on Thursday.
He said that the provincial government wanted to provide modern education to girls and create job opportunities for them to address their economic necessities because without education modern society could not be formed.
