Education and health are the basic human rights that should be provided to every citizen at his or her nearest place," said Arbab Bilal, a local elder and philanthropist who has arranged funds for the repair of a local clinic ransacked by a mob in last April after false rumours that the polio vaccine sickened children.
He urged the reconstruction of all the schools destroyed in the past few years, noting that students are still taking classes in nearby private or public sector schools, hujras or other places.
"Dozens, if not hundreds, of schools were bombed by terrorists in Peshawar, Malakand, the newly merged districts and other towns of the province during the last decade," said Riffat Ullah, a Peshawar-based journalist.
Despite the bombing and torching of schools, "thousands of students -- both girls and boys -- can complete [their studies] not only at schools but also at colleges and universities,"
