Sir: It is well known to everyone that language plays a critical role in the life of a nation, especially in terms of instruction in schools and other institutions. Unfortunately, in Pakistan, the country’s own language is being ignored, especially in educational institutions where students are being taught curriculum using alien languages, such as English, which they have difficulty understanding. They can face a host of problems due to this; if young children are taught in their mother tongues, they would have a better understanding of the subject they are learning. In this regard, I want to suggest to the federal minister of planning and development, the prime minister and other officials that it is much better if every student, whether Baloch, Punjabi, Sindhi, Urdu-speaking, Pakhtun or from any other ethnicity, is taught in his or her own language.
