Prevailing the wave of knowledge in Turbat Streets
By :Shahmeer Masood
Turbat city is the second-largest city in Balochistan, known for its love (sassi punno), hospitality, dates, historical sites, and other things.
During a day at the Dynamic English Language Teaching Academy (DELTA) the Change Agent organizes an ordinary foundation group’s class events. The participants of events, like small children, performed well, and I am attracted to the talent of small children. Massive crowd of
Females and males participated in the event.
When we see the turbat, there is a high literacy rate in Balochistan, and the three-day Atta Shad literary festival in Turbat in February last year is a testament to that. The people of Kech bought more than 30 lacs of books in three days, including books on literary, historical, romantic, classical stories, poetry, war, political, and social topics, as well as books on other topics. It’s unprecedented in numbers, and it’s crystal clear that the people of Kech love education.
Kech’s males and females work hard in the education sector, which is why it has the highest literacy rate in Balochistan. In district Kech, there is nowhere a separate functional female library. That’s created several problems from 10th grade to PhD female students to carry out their academic activities. It is pertinent to note that some females are suffering from economic crises and cultural norms that prevent their families from going to other cities for educational purposes. They faced a shut-up call from their families.
Some Kech students are complaining that the Turbat public library needs extra tables and chairs as numerous students struggle to find space to continue their studies. There is a dire need of more establishing libraries in the Turbat city.
I request that all related authorities create education opportunities for students of Kech more than ever. Education is the best thing to change the entire universe. They should be educated, so that they could set some good examples for their nation.
