The minister said that while the literacy rate in Karak district is very encouraging, there is a need to popularize research-based education to ensure the production of the best scholars.  

Meena Khan Afridi stated that despite economic challenges stemming from insufficient support from the federal government, the provincial government remains committed to investing in its youth.

The minister further said that Imran Khan is deeply concerned for his people even in jail and has given clear directions to prioritize education and protect the rights of the people. “When Imran Khan is so concerned and sad for us, the nation should also respond wholeheartedly to his final call of November 24 accordingly. Therefore, the people must come out of their homes on November 24 to release Imran from unjust imprisonment,” the minister concluded.
