  "summary": "The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has launched an initiative to identify and bring out-of-school children into the education system. A memorandum of understanding was signed by multiple departments, including elementary and secondary education, local government, elections, and rural development, health, and social welfare. Chief Minister Sohail Afridi emphasized the importance of interdepartmental coordination, reliable data, and an actionable implementation framework to achieve this goal. The initiative will involve a door-to-door survey across the province to gather comprehensive data on the number, geographic distribution, and reasons for children who are out of school. The data will be integrated into a unified system called “One Map,” which will provide an evidence base for targeted enrolment, education-sector planning, and more effective allocation of resources. The first phase of the initiative aims to enroll 60% of the identified out-of-school children.",
