Some schools were destroyed by Taliban in KP and the rest of schools are destroyed by the floods.
While rehabilitating the flood victims, government of Pakistan should also give priority to re-construct the schools so that children should go to the schools as soon as possible and should not lack behind in studies.
I fear that if the schools will not be constructed in due course of time, majority of the parents may start sending their children to Madarsas and then we will be having more terrorists ready for suicide bombing.
To save the courty from future terrorists, schools should be restored as quickly as possible.Recommend
Were there real schools meaning real building or gost schools.cannot agree fully with our gov figure cause the schools destroyed by taliban in Swat were 198 and the gov declared 350.Recommend
