This research explores the causes of educational decline and the practical possibilities for educational revival in the Pashtun belt of Balochistan through a socio-policy lens. Employing both qualitative and quantitative methods, the study includes field surveys and interviews with teachers, students, parents, and education officials. Findings indicate that lack of infrastructure, ineffective educational policies, teacher absenteeism, and sociocultural barriers—particularly concerning girls' education—are key contributing factors.

The study concludes with actionable recommendations including the recruitment of local teachers, the promotion of female education, and the establishment of transparent oversight mechanisms to ensure sustainable progress in the region.

This research artical presents a critical analysis of the Pashto ghazals of Ulfat Begum Dard with specific reference to Ilm-ul-Bayan (figurative rhetoric).

The study briefly situates Begum Dard within Pashto literary history, highlighting her distinctive voice as a female poet in a predominantly patriarchal context. Using a qualitative analytical approach, the paper examines how these rhetorical devices enhance semantic richness and emotional intensity in her selected ghazals. The analysis demonstrates that the effective use of Ilm-ul-Bayan not only reinforces traditional ghazal aesthetics but also deepens thematic expression, thereby affirming Ulfat Begum Dard’s significance in Pashto poetic discourse.

The findings reveal that Qalandar Momand’s resistance poetry significantly enriches modern Pashto literary discourse and aligns with global traditions of resistance literature. His poetic vision situates Sabawoon as an influential and meaningful contribution to both Pashto literature and the broader study of world literary resistance movements.
