Islamabad: The UAE Project to Assist Pakistan has built 40 schools and handed
them over to authorities in Pakistan's northwest Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa province.
Around 21,000 boys and girls have already started classes there.
A grand opening ceremony was held Saturday at one of the boys'
schools, where project director Abdullah Khalifa Al Ghafli
unveiled a memorial plaque declaring the official opening.
Al Ghafli and Maj. Gen. Zahir Shah, commander of the GOC 45th
Engineers Division of the Pakistani Armed Forces, took a tour of
the school building where they inspected classes, scientific and
computer laboratories, sports facilities and other support
