What about Kech?

Letter January 26, 2020
It is really shocking that only the people of Turbat are getting education

TURBAT: Kech is one of the most popular districts of Makran but it is really shocking that only the people of Turbat are getting education. If we take a look at other places in Kech, people from those places are migrating to Turbat to get better education. Unfortunately, those who can’t afford it are serving their lives as labourers. These are the only choices for the majority of the people living there.

As an example, I put forward my story in front of you. I originally belong from Tump, but just to receive proper education I was compelled to migrate to Turbat. I knew if I sit in Tump, I can’t compete with the people of modern era. There are many more students who have migrated for the purpose of getting education from the other places.

All in all, I request the MPAs from those areas to take pragmatic steps for resolving the problem because education is not only important for getting a job but also to become a better human being. It will help the nation move towards growth and stability as more productive citizens are being produced.
