Education
From 1974 until 2011 the people of Bannu had been continuously requesting the Federal as well as Provincial Governments to establish a university. Akram Khan Durrani, Chief Minister of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, announced a university would be created in Bannu, University of Science and Technology, Bannu. The Governor of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa substantiated the idea and issued an ordinance regarding its establishment, which started operating in 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He was the product of an English public school and university. He was, moreover, a modern product of those seats of athletic exercise. He had little education and highly developed muscles—that is to say, he was no scholar, but essentially a gentleman.”
—H. Seton Merriman (1862–1903)
“As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
