ISLAMABAD: Sharafat Afridi, the father of three daughters in the Khyber district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, eagerly awaits the completion of 50 schools being gifted by the Chinese government to the children in his district to restart their education by getting back to school. Khyber district is part of the erstwhile tribal region that had suffered the menace of terrorism for over a decade until the situation improved in recent years. “Terrorism hit us really hard, we lost our business and peace, but it was my daughters’ education which suffered the most. The available schools are very small with two classrooms for the primary section and no more than four for the middle section. The schools being built with Chinese donations are bigger and better, Humayun said.
