Lawmakers raise education concerns in Gilgit-Baltistan
The Indian education news outlet EdexLive reported the concerns on Saturday, but its full report was not retrievable.
Lawmakers have raised concerns about education in Gilgit-Baltistan, according to EdexLive. The Indian education news outlet carried the report on Saturday, but the full text was not retrievable when Skardu Times filed this story.
The outlet's headline stated that lawmakers raised education concerns in the region. No further details (such as the names of the lawmakers, the forum where the concerns were raised, the specific education issues, or any statistics) were available from the source.
Because the lead report's body could not be accessed, Skardu Times could not independently confirm the identity of the lawmakers, the date of the statement, or whether the concerns were raised in the Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly, in Pakistan's parliament, or elsewhere. The desk sought but could not retrieve the full EdexLive article.
This is a developing story. Skardu Times will update it if further details become available.
Education policy in Gilgit-Baltistan is set by the regional government in Gilgit, with support from federal programmes. Lawmakers in the territory have previously raised questions about teacher shortages, school infrastructure, and access in remote valleys, but no such details are confirmed in this report.
