BALOCHISTAN suffers owing to the lack of education and health facilities as the government does not pay attention to these issues. Most of the schools are in shambles.

Moreover, whatever schools and colleges there are in the province, they are being destroyed in the absence of teachers. This has rendered more than 50,000 students out of school, leaving them with shattered dreams. They don’t have enough money to seek admission in private schools, and in some areas there isn’t any school at all.

The federal government should intervene in the matter and streamline the education system in Balochistan at the earliest.
