Neglected schools

KARACHI:

The sorry state of government schools in Askani area of Turbat in Balochistan province needs urgent attention. Despite the importance of education, these schools lack basic facilities, hindering students’ ability to learn effectively. The area’s high pollution exacerbates the issue. Given the economic constraints of local families, government schools are the only viable option for many children. It is the government’s responsibility to ensure quality education, a fundamental right of every citizen. I urge the education authorities to address this issue promptly and ensure necessary facilities in government schools in Askani. This will enable students to receive the education they deserve and build a better future.
