QUETTA: In a recent update, the <\/span>District Education Officer has issued a ban on the\u00a0<\/span>government and private schools<\/a> in Quetta from holding <\/span>\u00a0any\u00a0<\/span>kind<\/span>\u00a0of political\u00a0<\/span>activity within the premises of educational institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

It<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>was<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>an<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>order<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>by<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>BHC<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>upon<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a petition filed by\u00a0<\/span>Quetta resident\u00a0<\/span>Advocate Shabbir Ahmed<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>on January 9, 2025. The tendency <\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>involve<\/span>\u00a0students in political activities has become rampant in the newer generation, and\u00a0<\/span>there<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a dire need\u00a0<\/span>to impose the ban to protect their educational prospects<\/span>, said the order of the court<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/span>It has asked\u00a0<\/span>the heads of all government and private schools in Quetta\u00a0<\/span>to bar students from\u00a0<\/span>joining<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>any political activity <\/span>apart<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>from<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>ensuring<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0students\u00a0<\/span>themselves<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>do<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>not<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>participate\u00a0<\/span>in such activities outside the school premises<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disciplinary action\u00a0<\/span>shall<\/span>\u00a0be\u00a0<\/span>initiated<\/span>\u00a0against\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>students\u00a0<\/span>on<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>breach<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0order, and\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>proceedings\u00a0<\/span>shall<\/span>\u00a0be\u00a0<\/span>conducted<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>under the Balochistan Employees’ Efficiency and Discipline Act<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>2011.\u00a0<\/span>BEEDA ACT<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>2011<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>will<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>govern<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the employees in government and corporation service\u00a0<\/span>with<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>respect<\/span>\u00a0to\u00a0<\/span>efficiency, discipline, and accountability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fresh<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>circular extends the ban to both\u00a0<\/span>within<\/span>\u00a0and outside the premises of educational institutions in Quetta<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with<\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>reasoning that a\u00a0<\/span>need\u00a0<\/span>was felt\u00a0<\/span>to keep educational institutions focused on academic pursuits<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>This\u00a0<\/span>is not\u00a0<\/span>for<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>the<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>first<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>time<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>that<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>such<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>a decision has\u00a0<\/span>been\u00a0<\/span>taken<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>as<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>earlier<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>also,\u00a0<\/span>student politics\u00a0<\/span>were<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>banned in\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>educational institutions in Balochistan. For\u00a0<\/span>instance<\/span>, the University of Balochistan had banned all political activities and\u00a0<\/span>rallies<\/span> on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly, the government has also banned political and religious debates in educational institutions in other parts of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>decision taken by the\u00a0<\/span>Balochistan government<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>to ban political activities in educational institutions is\u00a0<\/span>probably<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>aimed<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>at<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>maintaining<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>law and order and\u00a0<\/span>saving<\/span>\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>institutions<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>from<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>misuse<\/span> for politically motivated agendas.<\/span><\/p>\n
