MIRANSHAH: Hundreds of students of Khudri and its adjacent areas in North Waziristan tribal district cross Tochi river on daily basis and then travel at least six kilometres on foot to reach their school in Eidak area.
The local people said Khudri and its adjacent areas have no government school due to which the students from these areas go to schools in Eidak which is situated across the river. Despite harsh weather conditions, the students had to cross the river. Even during summer, it is very difficult to cross the river due to increased water level.
Boys are enduring these difficulties to continue their education, while girls are deprived of this basic rights and the girls education ration in these areas is zero.
Siddique, a local social worker, said even in this modern era Khudri and its adjacent areas have no school for boys and its students cross long distances to reach schools to other villages. He said girls are deprived of their basic right to education which is a matter of grave concern. He said all the boys don't cross Tochi river and only 30 percent of them are going to schools. He said those boys who are out of school are indulging into negative activities.
Noor Alam, who is a headmaster hailing from Khudri, said lack of school for an area having 4,000 population is a big problem. He demanded the government to set up schools in Khudri to save the future of the children and make them useful citizens of the country.
