Lack of opportunities for education

Letter October 13, 2018
The government should do the needful without any further loss of time

KECH, TURBAT: The University of Turbat (UoT) is the only university in Kech district. It is the sole institution of higher education for poor students residing in the district. However, unfortunately, at the university there are no departments of psychology, history and Urdu literature, to name a few. Students who want study these subjects have nowhere to go as they do not have the financial means to enroll in a university outside the district. As a result, these students are left with no choice but to take admissions into departments that are available at UoT, whether they want to study these subjects or not. So they are compelled to study subjects for which they have no aptitude.

The government should do the needful without any further loss of time.
