KPK is doing the right thing, i.e. following PMLn's PG footsteps.

Education cities to be established in Punjab
If you want to look at it this way then call it a healthy competition. There are many other initiatives being developed by the PTI govt. If the PMLn govt want to follow some of those then it would only benefit the people. It is about time that a govt would people's benefit ahead of their own personal gains.

nobody should care if one is following other
the thing is; Pakistan need to spend a lot in education and research

My comments of this sort are not merely to highlight the performance of some particular group, they are mainly to tell the Jannisar supporters of IK, who thinks him as some heavenly creature, that the accomplishment etc they are claiming are nothing special nothing new, some earthly being of mud and clay has done that already.

Apart from that doing the right thing is always right!!!

Great move.....

One thing I notice is that there seems to be a healthy competition between KPK and Punjab ,and both govts are doing things in their own ways....but Baluchistan and Sindh are lagging way behind. It will be a shame to see Pakistan split into 2 stratospheres...north and south . I hope Sindh and Baluchistan also take tangible steps in order to increase their literacy rate and improve quality of life.

انہي اداروں کو استعمال کيا جائے اور ان ميں سيکنڈ اور تھرڈ شفٹس سسٹم شروع کيا جائے تو زيادہ سے زيادہ طلباء کو تعليم دي جاسکتي ہے نئي عمارتيں بنانے کي بجائے پراني کو ہي ٹھيک کرکے قابل استعمال بنايا جائے اور زيادہ سے زيادہ ريسورسز تعليم پر لگائے جائيں
