Human Rights Watch said in a report that militant groups in Balochistan should immediately stop killing, threatening, and harassing teachers and other educators in Balochistan. Attacks and bombings by various nationalist armed groups have damaged schools and universities, killing and wounding students, and severely harming education in Balochistan.
The report - based on interviews with teachers, students, victims' families and friends, and government officials in Balochistan - describes these attacks and their consequences for the quality of education in the province. "By killing teachers, harming students, and targeting schools, militants increase Baluchistan’s problems and deprive its youth of the benefits of education said Ali Dayan Hasan, senior South Asia researcher at Human Rights Watch”.
The Baloch Liberation Army has claimed responsibility several times for the shooting death of Teachers in Balochistan.
Fearing for their safety, many teachers have sought transfers, more than 600 teachers and professors have transferred from their schools, or have moved out of the province entirely. Ali Dayan Hasan said “To educate or to seek education in Balochistan today means risking your life and your family's,". "By perpetrating such atrocities, Baloch militant groups are harming Baluchistan’s development instead of advancing it."
