Abbottabad schools

Published January 10, 2020

Some officials of the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Abbottabad, attend private schools’ functions.

They continuously make appearances at a particular school which has been getting top positions. Since all schools and colleges are affiliated with the Abbottabad board, attending functions of a particular school raises a lot of questions.

I urge the government to stop board officials from attending any school functions because it is like an election commission representative visiting or attending a political party’s rally.
