ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday opposed the possible closure of Pak-Turk schools across the country.
In a statement issued here, the PTI chief said the closure of Pak-Turk schools in Pakistan would be disastrous for the country. “We stand firmly by Turkish democracy, but closure of Pak-Turk schools in Pakistan, which has a high illiteracy rate, could be disastrous for the country,” he said. Khan said the closure would put the future of the students and the staff at stake if they were closed without considering the consequences.
Talking to a select group of journalists in Islamabad, the Turkish ambassador demanded that Pakistan close down all educational institutions in the country that were funded by the Fethullah Gulen-inspired Hizmet movement.
Twenty-eight Pak-Turk schools and colleges with staff strength of 1,500 are working across Pakistan, including Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi.
