Villagers of Tank (Hoshab) protest of absenteeism of teachers in the only primary school on Sunday.
In a joint appeal, the villagers voiced to their area’s representative, Zahoor Ahmed Buledi (provincial minister for planning and development) to issue orders against the absent teachers and ask them to attend their classes on a regular basis.
“The school has ten teachers,” the villagers say, “but only two teachers [Waris Hasil and Nazeer Ahmed] perform their duties honestly. Rest of the teachers have never been present.”
Currently, the winter vocations are going on in the province which will end on first day of the coming month. “We request [the minister] to listen to our grievances.” The villagers called upon.
It should be remembered that Balochistan is going through an education emergency for last several months in particular. On one hand, medical students are in a protest for the cancellation of a special test and, on the other hand, Balochistan University students went through a protesting closure of the varsity against the disappearance of two of their fellow students, Sohail Baloch and Fassieh Baloch, on 1st November from University hostel.
