Educational institutions across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) have been directed to provide data on Afghan students enrolled in their institutions as part of the ongoing refugee repatriation process.

Schools, colleges, and universities have been given a one-week deadline to submit the required information.

According to official documents, institutions must provide comprehensive records, including district details, school information and other essential student data. A standardised form has been issued to streamline the process.

Sources indicate that a significant number of Afghan students are studying in KP, but authorities currently lack a complete record. The data collection aims to create an updated database in line with government directives.
