In an effort to promote education in the Mohmand district, the Pakistan Army has undertaken initiatives to raise awareness among the local population through outreach in collaboration with community leaders.
The campaign encourages parents, particularly mothers, to send their children, especially girls, to school.
In areas near the borders of Mohmand, inactive schools are being renovated and adorned to make them operational again.

Awareness sessions for school children are being conducted in various regions, and banners are being used to highlight the importance of education.
Government authorities are also contributing by providing stationery, uniforms, and books to children.
As part of these significant steps, over the past months, 2300 boys and 1450 girls who were previously deprived of education have been enrolled in schools.
In the Mohmand district, nursing and other training programs have been initiated in three girls' schools located in the region. Additionally, IT labs are being set up in five schools.
Efforts are underway to address the shortage of male and female teachers in schools. With these measures by the Pakistan Army, an increase in the literacy rate in the Mohmand district is anticipated soon.
