02/27/2024 Pakistan (International Christian Concern) – A private school in Peshawar, Pakistan, has reportedly expelled poor Christian students who are unable to pay their school fees. This discriminatory action is in direct violation of the principles of inclusivity and equal education opportunities for minorities in Pakistan.  

ICC firmly believes that education should be a fundamental right, irrespective of one’s social and religious background. Expelling students for financial reasons hinders their academic progress and perpetuates a social divide.  

ICC also learned that when these Christian students protested this injustice on social media, the school principal exhibited unprofessional behavior by openly disregarding their concerns. 

The school should reverse its decision and allow these students to sit for their exams, enabling them to continue their education without any bias or discrimination. 

Let us stand together in condemning such acts and strive towards a fair and just society where every Christian child has the right to receive quality education, regardless of their financial background or religious affiliation.
