PESHAWAR(National times)- The Workers Welfare Board in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has taken strict action against poor academic performance in recent matriculation exams by suspending 15 principals of Working Folks Grammar and Higher Secondary Schools across the province. According to an official notification issued by the board, the suspended principals belonged to institutions located in Akora Khattak, Amaan Garh, Ghoriwala, Haripur-II, Hattar, Karak, Kohat-I, Kohat-II, Peshawar-II, Mardan, Shehbaz Azmat Khel, Swabi, and Swat. Additionally, the principals of Working Folks Grammar School in Takhte Bhai and others have also been suspended due to poor academic outcomes. To ensure that educational activities continue without disruption, the responsibilities of the suspended principals have been temporarily assigned to vice principals and senior teachers, according to the board’s statement. The decision comes amid growing concerns over the declining quality of education in state-run schools and reflects the board’s intent to enforce greater accountability in the education system.
