CONTEXT

The education system in AJK was very systematic, with a high literacy rate of 78%. The competition was very high as education was a high priority for parents. After the Earthquake, when Govt. transferred the majority of their education departments from Muzaffarabad to Islamabad, many of the poorer students, i.e. those who did not have the resources to travel or to pay for hostel accommodation in Islamabad, were forced to discontinue their studies. In the private sector there were seven institutes working before the Earthquake, five institutes were very demolished, the other two institutes has been  transferred to Islamabad

We are upgrading our institute to the level of Islamabad and Lahore so that we provide  same level of education for youth of Kashmir to study while living in their homes
