List of universities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Higher education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK), Pakistan, has seen notable progress, with 25 universities and degree-awarding institutions as of 2023. The government has allocated around 10% of its budget to the education sector, aiming to enhance educational infrastructure and quality. Programs like the Chief Minister's Merit Scholarship and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Endowment Fund have provided financial support to thousands of students. Despite these advancements, KPK faces challenges, with the literacy rate at 53% and a gender gap in higher education, where female enrollment is still lower than male enrollment by 15-20%. However, ongoing reforms and investment in education are paving the way for improvements in the region's higher education landscape.
