Teachers and students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa protest government plans to privatize colleges and impose strict teacher promotion rules.
On October 5, 2025, teachers and students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, protested against government plans to outsource under-enrolled government colleges to private operators via public-private partnerships and proposed new teacher promotion rules requiring an MPhil degree and research publications.
Demonstrations included road blockades and class boycotts, with protesters warning the policies threaten education quality, academic autonomy, and job security, especially in remote areas.
The government would cover tuition fees while private partners manage operations.
Educators demanded the policies be withdrawn and called for negotiations, threatening further action if concerns are unaddressed.
