More from Balochistan



The Baluchistan Liberation Army has taken responsibility for the murder of Nazima Talib, assisstant professor in the mass communication department of Balochistan University. According to the coverage in Dawn News, she had been teaching there for 23 years. The targeted killing was carried out under the pretext of revenge for the treatment of female political workers. It makes no sense.

Why so Inefficient?



Public education over the world seems to be the way of life and children of each area go the public schools provided for them. Then why do we in Pakistan look down upon Government Colleges and Schools? Why are private schools the only 'right' type of education system for us?

Correct, it's the buildings, the curriculum and the teachers (or lack thereof). Nadia A. Rehmani (link to article), elaborates on all the points that make education in Pakistan a 'problem' and never the 'solution'.

The problem has been identified, we need to work towards the solution.
