He further said that the educational crisis that has arisen in the country could not be remedied in the next ten years. Twenty-three million children are already out of school. Thousands of educational institutions are closing due to the prolonged closure of institutions, and the government is watching the spectacle. The closure of educational institutions has left thousands of teachers unemployed. It seems from the government's anti-knowledge policies that one crore of people will become unemployed. Abrar Ahmad Khan said that the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan should immediately announce educational institutions' opening.
