According to Education Secretary KP Ashfaq Ahmed, the entire project will cost Rs. 1 billion and will be formally launched once the provincial government allocates the necessary funds.

Shahram Khan Tarakai, the KP Minister for School and Elementary Education, reviewed the progress of all projects earlier this week and directed that hiring begin after the vacancies were advertised.
