Foundation for Education and Rehabilitation of Slow Children (FRESH) on Friday expressed concerns over rising trend of suicide among students for failing to get through annual exams. FRESH Secretary General Ashba Kamran said that three students in Dir, Northern Areas committed suicide, which was a tragic incident.
"The learning difficulties among students were hampering the success rate among students due to factors like Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Dyslexia," she added. Ashba deplored that the government was doing nothing in dealing with such students which is leading to horrible consequences. She also said there was urgent need for creating awareness about learning difficulties among children and students of every age group to secure future of Pakistan.
"FRESH has recently launched awareness campaign with the name of Pakistan Association for Difficulties in Learning (PADIL). The objective of PADIL is to prepare society to understand the problems of learning difficulties and help out students in getting their education and practical career onwards," he added. She urged the people, policymakers and the government to support PADIL in creating awareness about learning difficulties and save the children from taking extreme steps like suicide.
