Stagnant education

Stagnant education

KARACHI:

Could you imagine a stagnant existence where your insatiable curiosity is permanently stifled, rendering your aspirations a mere pipe dream? The youth of Singabad are suffering from the same situation. Singabad, a village in Turbat, is fighting deprivation, stagnation and intellectual torpor. Its students are in distress. The rundown classrooms illustrate the suffering of these enthusiastic students.
This is not just the story of Singabad but nearly 2.3 million children in Balochistan who are out of school, and among those enrolled, many endure schools lacking basic facilities. Students thirst for knowledge yet continue to endure hardship, and the higher authorities put in concentrated efforts to fix this.
