The Plitvice Lakes National Park is the oldest and national park of Croatia 🇭🇷

I'm lucky been here and had a unique & memorable experience of my life. I must say it's a real life fantasy world.

Absolutely. Since 2008-9, we learned of #education_emergency” and even then the out of school children were around 25million. @AlifAilaan, an #NGO run by @mosharrafzaidiosharrafzaidi held extensive sessions and gathered data from all four provinces (2013-18) presenting a solution #Ailan_e_Amal that was signed and adopted by all, including mainstream political parties.

This is the fourth time the tribal communities of District Kurram have been forced to evacuate their homes due to a military operation against militant groups.

[Umer Orakzai @UmerOrk]

This reflects a serious failure of both the district administration and the provincial government.

Despite the recurring nature of such crises, no government authority has arranged an alternative location for their temporary settlement.

These ordinary citizens, already living with limited means, cannot afford to pay rent or secure safe shelter on their own.

Families are left to survive under the open sky during harsh winter nights.

Pakistan Institute of Education reports for 2021-22. there are 26.2 million out-of-school children.Balochistan stands out with the highest percentage of 65% and KP fares better with a 30%. Although many educational experts doesn’t agree and say the percentage is more than what has been reported. How much attention does the political parties pay to this issue in their manifestos for the upcoming elections?

@naeemtoronto @naeemtoronto bhai, this is heart wrenching post my dear. May Allah give him highest place in Jannat, Ameen!

Hundreds of families are forced to leave their home's, and this was once done to us back in 2006, where thousands of innocents were made orphans, and hundreds were made widows.

Such conflicts take a year's to turn life's into normalcy.

[Umer Orakzai @UmerOrk]

Painful & scary situation in my home town #Kurram where conflict between the tribes have spread across the district, and turned into a sectarian conflict.

Heavy weapons have been used from both sides for the last three nights.

@ShahabAhmadKhan It was an inspiration from Berlin

[Umer Orakzai @UmerOrk]

@mrazaharoon @MiftahIsmail Why don’t we make a single district in each province a model district? Where all the children of the district are enrolled in schools and receive the best education, and this model can be extended to another district every year.

[Umer Orakzai @UmerOrk]

@mrazaharoon @MiftahIsmail We do have a voucher fee structure for NFE (non-formal education) in the provinces implemented by the foundations but need a proper mechanism so that those resources are not misused at current they are. We do have a shortage of maths and science teachers across the country.

[Umer Orakzai @UmerOrk]

@mrazaharoon @MiftahIsmail What we need is a national reform unit, in close working relationships with the provinces in implementing & bridging these gaps. I agree, education resources at current are misused.

Champion like you need to campaign for the rights of the vulnerable girls in the tribal districts of Pakistan & especially girls in Afghanistan for providing them their basic rights and access to education
