A dismal state of education in Balochistan
2015-06-02
[DAWN] In spite of an increase in the education budget, there are more than 7,000 multi-grade (from class 1 to 5), single room schools with just a single teacher in Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
. These schools have no boundary walls and no such thing as individual attention or security.

The coalition government had allocated 24 per cent of the budget during the financial year 2014-15.

However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
adviser to the Balochistan chief minister on education, Sardar Raza Muhammad Bareech, says more than 75 per cent of the budget was spent on salaries etc., whereas, only 25 per cent budget was spent on development of the education sector.

The number of government-run primary, middle and high schools has reached around 13,000 with 1.3 million female and male students across the province, lagging behind other provinces in terms of key social indicators.

"Despite the government's recent movement against out of school children, there are still 1.7 million children who are out of school at the moment," Sardar Bareech informed an all parties conferences organised by Institute of Social and Policy Sciences in Quetta.
