During the session, PML-N lawmaker Jalal Khan demanded details regarding the total number of private schools in the province and their current fee structures. Responding to the query, Parliamentary Secretary for education, Ajab Gul, stated that private schools are categorized into seven groups, all regulated by the authority, adding that private schools are investments but must also maintain certain educational standards. “This should not be taken in a traditional manner—sending the matter to committee does not mean disrespect for anyone,” he remarked. After the discussion, the Speaker of the KP Assembly referred the issue to the relevant committee for further examination.
