These include Government Girls Primary School Tangi Nazar Khel Bargambar Khel, Government Girls Primary School Ham Kalay Tarkhuks Upper Bara, Government Girls Primary School Haji Mina Dar Khan Kalay Akakhel, and Government Girls Primary School Khuga Jan Bara.
• Security Concerns: Three schools were closed due to the law and order situation in the region. These include Government Girls Primary School Khwaja Kalay Tirah, Government Girls Primary School Muhammad Din Shah, and Government Girls Primary School Zale Khan Tirah.
