According to the notification, the suspended principals include those from Working Folks Grammar Schools in Akora Khattak, Aman Garh, Ghoriwala, Haripur-II, Hattar, Karak, Kohat-I, Kohat-II, and Peshawar-II.

The action also extends to principals from Samardan, Shahbaz Azmat Khel, Swabi, Swat, and Tath Bhai, where results were also deemed unsatisfactory.
