Abstract
The paper explores the socio-educational scenario of the Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa, then N.W.F.P during British rule, and explains how
wretchedly this province was treated in education. Before its
establishment in 1901, being part of the Punjab province, the five districts
that are Peshawar, Hazara, Dera Ismail Khan, Kohat and Bannu were the
most backward amongst 31 districts. Similarly, the province was the last
in education amongst all provinces of the India.Pashtuns, were ignored in
education by the Britishers, due to their geo- strategic location. It was the
gateway of the invasions, so there must have been no or low resistance in
the strategic way of it, which needed illiterate subordinates. Their
energies were diverted towards other social multiplicities, detached them
from trade, commerce, business and decision making stakeholder ship.
Several primary schools in the province were offered to be established
after successful participation of the villagers in the World War 1.
