South Waziristan education system faces crisis amid teacher absenteeism

Residents in South Waziristan have raised concerns regarding the collapse of the local education system. Reports indicate that many teachers have been absent from schools for years while continuing to receive regular salaries. This absenteeism has reportedly left the educational infrastructure inactive, with some school buildings being used as private residences instead of classrooms.

Critics allege that the lack of oversight from officials has allowed this situation to persist, with hundreds of teachers allegedly existing only on paper to collect wages without performing their duties. Local citizens have called for strict action against these practices to restore the functionality of the schools and protect the academic future of children in the region.
