PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government after much delay notified the appointment of chairmen of three boards of intermediate and secondary education in the province, but the decision still caused controversy.
Prof Nasrullah Khan Yousafzai, the principal of Government College, Peshawar and head of the Professors Association, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, was notified as the chairman of the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Peshawar.
Nasrullah Khan Yousafzai, who is in grade 20 and was second in the original merit list for the chairmanship of the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Peshawar, was appointed after a deadlock on the issue of appointment. Bashir Khan, the acting chairman of the board, was top of the list but he was dropped when the original merit list was amended due to unknown reasons and sent again for final approval by the chief minister.
