KP CM announces inclusion of ethics as subject in curriculum
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi on Thursday announced the inclusion of ethics as a subject in the curriculum, stressing that education must go hand in hand with character-building.
The KP chief minister made the announcement during his visit to a government school in Peshawar. Speaking on the occasion, the CM said: “Training is essential alongside education. It develops responsible, principled and successful individuals.”
The chief minister directed the relevant authorities to install CCTV cameras in all public schools and provide all facilities on a priority basis. He instructed the officials to ensure the provision of free textbooks to all students at the beginning of the new academic session.
He said that the school administration and teaching staff should focus on quality education and assured that the shortcomings in government schools would be removed.
The KP CM, last month, had announced to establish two more universities in the province despite financial issues.
CM Afridi had directed the authorities to work on the proposal of establishing the Arshad Sharif University in the province as well as another varsity in his native Khyber tribal district.

Kathy Bates says Rob Reiner “changed the course of my life” with “Misery” role
In a one-hour special airing Sunday, actress Kathy Bates opened up to CBS News about the death of Rob Reiner, saying the director “changed the course of my life.”
Bates rose to prominence with her breakout Oscar-winning role in Reiner’s adaptation of Stephen King’s “Misery” in 1990. In “CBS News: Rob Reiner – Scenes from a Life,” Bates said that if it weren’t for Reiner, her dreams of being an actress would not have come true “in such a dramatic and incredible way.”
“If I hadn’t done ‘Misery,’ it would be like George Bailey going back and seeing what his life would have been like if he had never been there,” she said. “I wouldn’t have had some of the friends that I have now. I wouldn’t have had the richness in my life. I quite frankly probably would have stayed in the theater and I doubt I would have had a movie career. I might have dropped out altogether.”
Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found fatally stabbed in their Los Angeles home on Dec. 14, authorities said. Their son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested on murder charges in connection with their deaths.
“Rob changed the course of my life, and if he hadn’t, I wouldn’t be sitting here in front of you now,” Bates said.
The one-hour special “CBS News: Rob Reiner – Scenes from a Life” will be broadcast Sunday at 8:30 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT on CBS, and will stream on Paramount+.

Victoria Beckham ‘won’t let family feud ruin Christmas’
Victoria Beckham has reportedly decided not to let the fallout with her son Brooklyn disturb her family’s Christmas.
Victoria, 51, and Sir David, 50 are involved in a feud with their eldest child and his wife Nicola Peltz.
During this time, the couple have missed all of the family’s important events over the past year-notably the footballer’s 50th birthday celebrations and his knighthood.
In this situation, Brooklyn, 26, is likely to celebrate the festive period with Nicola and her family in Miami, while the Beckhams celebrate without them in the United Kingdom.
In this difficult scenario, Victoria is believed to be working hard to put on a brave face and stay strong for her husband and teenage daughter Harper, 14.
The couple are also parents to Romeo, 23, and Cruz, 20.
A source said: ‘It’s been a year since they last all saw each other and it’s something she will never come to terms with. But she won’t let it get her down over the festive period as she needs to be strong, especially for Harper, as well as her parents and David’s parents’.
Friends of the Beckham family have said Victoria’s mum Jackie and David’s mum Sandra are ‘very sad’ at the rift that means they no longer see Brooklyn, especially because they were always so close.
The insider told The Sun: ‘Brooklyn spent so much time with her parents Jackie and Tony for the first few years of his life and they had such a special bond, while Sandra looked after him so much growing up’.
‘Harper really misses her big brother and Nicola. Victoria is hoping that Brooklyn at least calls his grandparents over Christmas. She’s given up on him calling her.’
It comes after his estranged brother Cruz offered another Olive branch to Brooklyn on Sunday, by sharing a home video clip of himself and Brooklyn as children.
