The Hidden Cost of Interrupted Learning in Kashmir

Classrooms open with promise in Kashmir but struggle to hold momentum. Timetables shift, lessons are delayed, and academic calendars stretch far beyond their limits.

Each missed hour of teaching may seem small, but together they add up to a silent crisis, one that shapes the future of every child in the valley.

Education has long been Kashmir's strongest hope for progress. From modest village schools to expanding universities, learning has lifted families and widened horizons. But this hard-won ascent is slowed by gaps that remain stubborn and deep.

Teachers often work without advanced training. Laboratories and libraries need upgrades. Career counseling is rare, leaving many students unsure of what comes after school. Too many graduates emerge with degrees that do not match the demands of a fast-changing job market.
