Balochistan targets enrollment of 266,000 children in Enrollment Campaign 2026

QUETTA, Mar 6 (APP):The Balochistan government has set a target to enroll more than 266,000 children in schools during the 2026 enrollment campaign, aiming to significantly reduce the province’s large population of out-of-school children.

An official from the Education Department told APP that the provincial government has already launched awareness campaigns across Balochistan to encourage parents to send their children to school.

In a landmark achievement for education reform, the government has reactivated 4,000 previously non-functional schools and recruited 10,000 new teachers, opening doors to learning for thousands of children across the province. The official emphasized the government’s commitment to ensuring teacher availability and guaranteeing that every child has access to education.

To further boost literacy rates, the Education Department is organizing public rallies in various cities, urging communities to enroll their children. Parents, teachers, political workers, district education officers, and religious leaders have been called upon to play their part in supporting this campaign and ensuring that no child is left behind.
