Methods which have been found out by the authorities to solve the problems of physical and human resources are not practical and they are unsuccessful. There is a surplus in national schools for resources while a deficiency seems in provincial schools. Most probably the central government provides resources for national schools while provincial councils take the responsibility of providing resources for provincial schools though the situation changed slightly some times.

So a common policy should be carried out in appointments and transfers of staffs and minor staffs, distribution of physical and financial resources and carrying out rules and regulations.
