Education in Pakistan

He tried to save it

Pakistan has ordered Turkish teachers at schools with alleged links to the U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen to leave the country, as it prepared to host President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. 
The teachers and their families, totaling roughly 450 people, were given three days' notice to leave, PakTurk International Schools and Colleges said in a statement late on Nov. 15. 

Pakistan observed a day of national mourning on Jan. 21 for the 21 people killed when heavily-armed gunmen stormed a university in the troubled northwest, exposing the failings in a national crackdown on extremism.

Heavy gunfire and blasts were heard from inside the Bacha Khan university as gunmen tried to storm their way into the building, while according to reports at least three people are wounded.

The attack was carried out in Charsadda, about 50 km from the city of Peshawar, where in 2014 Talibans had murdered more than 130 students at a school.
