Sir: The word education is derived from the Latin word ‘Educare’ that means to nourish and in English it means the process or art of imparting knowledge, skill and judgment. Education influenced many nations and played a vital a role in their freedom and gave them a new life. Baloch people, who used to be nomads, were not aware of the benefits of education but now they have learnt the real meaning of education. If the government had realised the hidden talent of Baloch people, they would have also contributed all their efforts to the development of the country. If Baloch students had been provided with facilities for acquiring education, they would not have been suffering from this backward situation. School is the first home for a child to learn manners, education and good behaviour. But educational institutions in Balochistan are facing many problems. The new administration in Balochistan is really taking positive steps towards education. More efforts are needed to revolutionise the education sector in Balochistan. NOMAN BALOCH Turbat
