Outdated textbooks

Author: Daily Times

Sir: There is so much ugliness about the governance of Balochistan that one finds it difficult to call it a province that has a federal structure to govern it. This orphan called Balochistan is deprived of every good thing. Even the textbooks are not updated to suit modern times. It is years now that anybody bothered to find out what is being taught in the schools of Balochistan. I fervently request the Balochistan textbook board to come out of its slumber and jostle the Baloch out of the deep sleep of ignorance as well. It is only through modern education that is aligned with the contemporary world that we could remove antiquities from minds and souls for a better future.
