KP government has started a free transport service for female students to help them reach school more easily. This program mainly focuses on far-off districts like Kohistan, Torghar, Hangu, and Lakki Marwat, where lack of transport is a big reason why many girls stop going to school.
This free transport service will also be available in areas like Dera Ismail Khan, Charsadda, Kohat, and Bannu. With this step, the KP government wants to lower the number of school dropouts and help girls from rural areas continue their education without worrying about how to get to school.
This new program follows a similar move by the Punjab government, which introduced student travel cards to make it easier for students to use public transport. Both KP and Punjab are trying to make education more reachable, especially for girls who face difficulties just getting to school.
Providing free transport is a big help for many families who can’t afford daily travel costs for their daughters. It also encourages parents to send their girls to school regularly. The government believes that small steps like this can make a big difference in increasing the number of girls who complete their education.
By giving attention to the problem of transport, the KP government is working toward building a future where more girls are educated and empowered. This effort shows a growing focus in Pakistan on creating equal learning opportunities for everyone.
