Students now need access to the internet and computers for assignments
TURBAT: I would like to draw the attention of the prime minister towards the needs of students. With technology, the ways of imparting education have changed to a great extent. Students now need access to the internet and computers for assignments. Previous governments assisted students by providing funds for education on the basis of need. There were schemes for funding education, providing laptops and opportunities that would increase the exposure of students hailing from smaller cities or rural areas. However, students of Balochistan are no longer being provided any assistance. It is understandable that the country is going through a difficult time, but we must invest in our youth to ensure we have a bright future. I urge the prime minister to provide facilities and assistance to students of Balochistan in order to bring them on a par with those in the rest of the country.
