The government is taking several steps for promoting quality education in underdeveloped areas including Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) to ensure their development.
As part of such efforts a government has planned to establish a medical college at Bajaur Agency and an Information Technology university at Kurram Agency, said officials sources. Federal Minister for State and Frontier Regions Engineer Shaukatullah termed the establishing a medical college in FATA as a “hallmark” of the federal government, adding it was of great importance for students of the area, who were missing this facility. The minister said that an Information Technology University would also be established at Parachinar in Kurram Agency.
He said the present government was giving all due attention to address problems being faced by people of FATA with the primary aim to provide them with maximum facilities. He said the Ministry of SAFRON had initiated various projects for the welfare of the FATA masses. He said that after the establishment of educational institutions, the people of these areas would get modern education at their doorsteps.
All these developments were part of a special package of the federal government for FATA, the minister added.
