Inactive Campuses, Delayed Projects Deepen Khuzdar’s Education Crisis
The education crisis in Khuzdar has reached a critical point. It is deepening due to two major, interconnected failures. Long-inactive university campuses and severely delayed development projects have paralyzed higher education access.
This situation leaves thousands of local students in limbo. They are deprived of opportunities for advanced study close to home. Therefore, the crisis threatens the future prospects of an entire generation in the region.
The Core Failures: Ghost Campuses and Stalled Construction
The crisis centers on university campuses that exist only in name. These “ghost campuses” lack permanent faculty, proper facilities, and functioning academic programs. Simultaneously, announced development projects for new facilities remain stuck in perpetual delays. These failures represent a breakdown in planning and execution. Promises of educational investment have not materialized into tangible resources. Consequently, student aspirations are crushed by administrative and bureaucratic inertia.
A Call for Urgent Accountability and Action
Community leaders and students are demanding urgent government intervention. They call for a clear timeline to activate existing campuses and complete stalled projects. Accountability for the delays is essential to restore public trust. The crisis underscores the inequality in educational infrastructure across Pakistan. Resolving it is a test of commitment to equitable development. Ultimately, Khuzdar’s youth deserve functional institutions that unlock their potential, not empty promises.
