Peshawar: Primary schools in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, including those in the provincial capital Peshawar, remained closed for the second consecutive day as teachers went on strike.

Educational activities at the primary level were suspended, with most schools locked and students sent home.

In Peshawar, teachers were staging a sit-in protest at Jinnah Park. Aziz Ullah Khan, President of the All Primary Teachers Association (APTA), said the protest would continue until a notification regarding their upgradation is issued.

The APTA protest has affected over 25,000 primary schools across Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
