PM Shehbaz Sharif Restores Tribal District Quota in Medical, Engineering Universities
On July 24, 2025, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif declared the restoration of educational quotas for students from ex‑FATA or merged tribal districts in medical colleges and engineering universities. The announcement came during a jirga held with tribal elders led by Jamiat Ulema‑e‑Islam (F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman at the Prime Minister House. Tribal leaders welcomed the move, viewing it as a critical step towards addressing educational inequities and fulfilling long-standing commitments to uplift previously marginalized regions. Funding has also been allocated for infrastructure and expansion initiatives.
