Attacking educational institutes

Living in a country smothered by a number of problems and education has been a major problem from the starting years. Pakistan has always remained slow witted in education. There is a very low standard of education in our country. And criterion of education is getting even worse.

This started with the tragic incident of APS on 16th December, 2014. About 148 deaths were reported and 114 non-fatal injuries took place as the motive behind this was retaliation against operation Zarb-e-Azb.

Another incident happened when the terrorists put their bleak mark and stormed the Bacha Khan University in Pakhtunkhwa’s Charsadda district where more than 22 people were killed with dozens of non-fatal injuries.

These incidents took place from the years 2014-2016 and had a negative influence on our educational system. As we are already facing low standard of education in our country, these incidents are greatly affecting our students and their education.

Therefore, I request the authorities to pay their attentions towards this issue and take steps in improving the security of the students and help decimate the issue of terrorism as soon as possible.
