Abstract
FATA is federally administered areas of Pakistan consisting of seven tribal agencies and six frontier regions. It is geographically, linguistically and culturally linked on one side with Afghanistan and on other with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. FATA has many problems but educational conditions and impediments are its greatest nightmares. Educational poverty supersedes all poverties here. There are number of ghost schools, lack of modern and even traditional teaching facilities, absence of a single university, medical, engineering or tangible vocational institutes which take back FATA to dark ages and this is resulting in taking back Pakistan to medieval times. Present study will work on the hypothesis that modern education is the remedy of all the malaises of FATA. If FATA excels in modern education it will eliminate extremism, militancy, poverty, conflicts and such eroding issues. Qualitative approach will be adopted to seek the answers of raised research questions. A comparative analysis will be made with demographically, topographically similar areas in the world and role of modern educational intervention in the development and vice versa. Thus this study will make a comprehensive survey of current situation of modern and religious education in FATA, its impacts and futuristic analysis.
