Subpar education

Subpar education

As a student from Turbat, I have observed that in Turbat, the syllabus of most government school textbooks remains incomplete when exams approach. When the Balochistan Board announces the question paper, students cannot even solve it unless they have self-studied.

Students with poor preparation collapse in front of this concern and usually score the lowest marks. Important parts of textbooks are often left untaught, while time is wasted on unnecessary activities. This poor management hampers students’ learning and overall development. This barrier attacks students almost every year during exam season. It prevents students from achieving good grades, and every year thousands of students fail. The authorities must rectify this to protect students’ futures.
