I would like to request the education department to pay heed to the problems of students of Hyderabad. The course of Matric is too lengthy, and we are not able to take part in extra curricular activities.

This is the last year of our school and we want to enjoy it and make it special in some way.

The second problem is the pattern of examination which has been in practice for a long time. All the lengthy and descriptive questions are given in the paper and this method does not allow students to understand a particular topic.

They just want to fill up the pages of answer sheet. So, I would request the education department to shorten Matric course or change the pattern of examination.

Drive slow!

Through this source, I would like to draw the attention of YW readers and the government towards a problem which needs to be solved urgently.

These days we see a large number of vehicles everywhere. Let alone roads, even in streets we cannot ignore the number of motorbikes and cars. But the problem towards which I want to draw the attention of concerned authorities is that people drive recklessly in the areas of schools and colleges and there is no one to implement traffic rules.

It is a rule to drive slowly near schools and colleges, but no one seems to follow this rule, instead they drive fast in these areas and feel proud to break laws.

Therefore, I’d like to request the government to please take proper steps against these rules breakers (drivers), and I also would like to request the drivers to please drive slow near schools and colleges.

Signal-free roads

These days we see that Karachi has totally changed, many bridges, interchanges, underpasses, parks and “signal-free roads” have been built. Signal-free roads mean the roads where there is no signal so that vehicles can move freely, there will be no signal to stop them and the average speed can be greater than usual. I also appreciate city nazim for his efforts and work to give a new look to Karachi but some attention should also be paid toards the condition of roads. Broken and potholes roads make it impossible to drive on them.

I, therefore, request the government to initiate constructive projects keeping in view the problems faced by the common man.

Money, happiness go together

This is in response to Sehrish Anwer’s letter “Money is important”. I would like to say that money and happiness go together. A person having money due to which he is living a comfortable life would be happy but if a person is going through financial crisis in his life, surely he can’t be happy as money is needed for everything we do in life.

When you give someone a gift to express your love and affection for him/her, he/she will surely be happy and thankful to you. The gift could be bought only with the money of course but the happiness of the gift receiver lies in the love you expressed. In my opinion, none of them has importance over the other. Both go together and are found to be with each other and everywhere.

Lack of libraries

Are we still interested in libraries in this technologically advanced era? Perhaps not. Cell phones and computers have become vitally essential for this generation as much as clothes for human beings.

Meanwhile the condition of Kech (Baluchistan) education system is very poor. Only a few schools have libraries. Students who are interested in furthering their knowledge have no resources to do so.

I would like to send this plea on behalf of all students of district Kech to the education minister of Pakistan and anyone who can solve our problems.
