Pakistan: Unfair rules of Balochistan board destroying education

The officials of Government teachers Association have said in a statement that unfair rules made by Balochistan board of intermediate and secondary education are destroying education in Balochistan.

Balochistan board has made a new rule according to which students younger than 14 years of age can’t sit in 9th grade exams. This rule will waste educational years of those students who have started their education at a young age, complained the GTA officials. GTA officials also lamented the incompetence of Chairman Balochistan Board Saadullah Tokhai. According to them, Saadullah Tokhai was removed from the position of Director Colleges due to its incompetence and now He is destroying intermediate and secondary education.

The educational situation in the provinces is abysmal and as a corrective measure, current government has increased the educational budget considerably. Government should also ensure that Balochistan Board should not make discriminatory laws which are against the interest of the students. Government of Balochistan should also make good its promise of establishing two new educational boards in Balochistan in Turbat and Zhob.
