Government is making efforts to improve the literacy rate in the tribal belt. A press release issued by FATA Secretariat states that keeping in view the lack of basic facilities and unavailability of furniture and other equipment in several boys & girls schools in FR Kohat, the Political Administration provided necessary furniture and equipment to 30 government schools.
