ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM
For
SAGHRI KHATTAKS


1. General: Saghri Khattaks, living in Shakardara and Dhand Saghri areas of District Kohat, are worst hit as far as the development and progress aspects of the time are concerned. They have been left out since independence due to many reasons. The main reason of their backwardness is complete lack of education and awareness. Approximately 98 % of 0.15 million population is literally illiterate and unskilled. Existence of numerous government schools in the area has hardly made any difference there because of their very low education standards and lack of commitment by all concerned. The reality is that people of the area are continuously suffering and are forced to live below the poverty line since ages. Something must be done to alleviate their sufferings.
2. Wind of Change. The realization of this real shortcoming has come about now in the minds of the people with repentance and regret. They are now willing to participate in any activity of creating awareness and imparting skills to them and their young generations through proper education and training. One significant indicator of this change is their decision to unite together under one umbrella of “PAK SAGHRI DEVELOPMENT SOCIETY ”  for starting all kinds of required development activities in the area including education & training at the top priority.  This plan of Adult Education has, therefore, been prepared in light of the aspirations of these people and in line with the commitment of the Government of Pakistan through Millennium Development Goals for ensuring literacy of masses up to at least elementary primary education by 2015. Compulsions of modern era have also forced them to realize that acquisition of good education and required modern skills are must for sustainable development / progress and honorable successful life.
