Letter: Educational issues in Balochistan

Balochistan is the richest province of Pakistan, but unfortunately it has been neglected since the beginning. It produces everything, from gas to coal and minerals. However, besides these all Balochistan faces acute problems such as illiteracy, low quality education, worst health system and various other issues.

For education, the issue is so grave. 2.3 million children are out of school. Most of the school buildings are near to collapse with no toilet, boundary walls and electricity. This shows that the provincial and federal governments have totally failed in the province. It is high time that such issues are taken seriously and resolved.

Israrullah, Karachi.
