Adnan MaqsoodJANUARY 21, 2019For a student, career counselling is the first step to start his/her journey of education greatly.A room needs to have a strong basic, which does not let it fall down easily. Likewise, the students need to get career counselling classes from their basics, I mean from their school lives. I mostly observed that Baloch youth has been getting troubles due to not having career counselling while they go further to get higher education.Once, one of my brother’s friends was asked by his teacher in FA what he wanted to do in future and he said he wanted to become a doctor.

Here, the problem was lack of career counselling which pushed him in a direction where he could not pursue what he wanted to take up in future. He was not the only student in Balochistan without career counselling. Like him, thousands of students are suffering.When someone talks about the natural resources of o…

3 United Nations Plaza
New York, New York 10017Subject: To draw your kind attention towards children of Balochistan.Dear Ms. ForeI am writing to you to draw the attention of your institution towards the condition of children in Balochistan.
