6 | The provincial government of Pakistan's largest and poorest province Balochistan, has been running an aggressive campaign to curb “cheating” in exams at schools for the last two months. | Nanao fampielezankevitra naherihery setra ihany ny governemantam-paritra tao amin'ny faritany lehibe indrindra ao Pakistan, Balochistan, mba hampiatoana ny fanaovana “hosoka/hala-tàhaka” amin'ny fanadinana any an-tsekoly tato anatin'ny roa volana farany teo. |
7 | To raise awareness, the southwestern province's department of education has been using the slogan ‘cheating is the death of knowledge, cheating is the death of merit.' | Mba hanairana ny saina, ny departemantan'ny fanabeazana any amin'ny faritany atsimo andrefana dia nampiasa ny teny fanentanana hoe ‘fahafatesan'ny fahalalàna ny fanaovana hosoka, fahafatesan'ny fahamendrehana ny fanaovana hosoka.' |
8 | Currently, Pakistan faces an education crisis of unprecedented proportions. | Amin'izao fotoana izao, miatrika olan'ny fanabeazana tsy mbola nisy toa azy i Pakistana. |
9 | According to Alif Ailaan, a campaign for education reform in Pakistan, 47% of children between 5 and 16 years don't go to school. | Araka ny ambaran'ny Alif Ailaan, fanentanana iray ho amin'ny fanavaozana ny fanabeazana ao Pakistana, 47% amin'ireo ankizy eo anelanelan'ny 5 sy 16 taona no tsy mandeha an-tsekoly. |
10 | The situation is far worse in Balochistan, where 66% of children are out of school. | Ratsy lavitra noho izany ny toe-draharaha ao Balochistan, izay 66% amin'ny ankizy no any ivelan'ny sekoly. |

13 | I grew up studying in Balochistan's education system and little has changed since my time. | Nobeazina tao anatin'ny rafi-pampianarana tao Balochistan aho ary zara raha nisy fiovàna hatramin'ny fotoana naha-tao ahy. |
14 | To see whether the “cheating campaign” was effective, or even needed, I decided to visit a few schools in Gwadar and its peripheries, where student enrollment is 33%, one of the highest within Balochistan. | Mba hijerena raha nahomby ny “fanentanana tsy hanao hosoka”, na hoe tena ilaina, nanapaka hevitra aho ny hitsidika sekoly vitsivitsy tao Gwadar sy ny manodidina azy, izay eo amin'ny 33 % eo ny fidiran'ny ankizy any an-tsekoly, iray amin'ireo avo indrindra ao Balochistan. |

17 | At one school, I asked Ahmad Baloch, a student of class 9, about the campaign. | Tao amin'ny sekoly iray, nanontaniako i Ahmad Baloch, mpianatra iray amin'ny kilasy faha-9, mikasika ilay fanentanana. |
18 | His response was, “Cheating may be the death of education, but in our case, what education? | Ny valinteniny dia hoe, “Mety ho fahafatesan'ny fanabeazana ny fanaovana hosoka, fa raha ny amintsika, fanabeazana inona moa? |
19 | When we haven't even been taught the entire syllabus of a subject let alone taught well, what is a student to do except cheat, and somehow manage to pass (their exams)?” | Rehefa tsy ampianarina antsika akory ny tari-dàlana rehetra momba ny lohahevitra iray, tsy resahantsika ny zara fa nampianarina, inona no hataon'ny mpianatra ankoatry ny manao hosoka, ary manao izay fomba hahafahany (fanadinana)?” |
20 | When I put the same question to another student Munawwar Ali, he said, “We don't have a Physics teacher, we have studied only 1.2 exercises in the Math book, and the exams are now just around the corner. | Rehefa naveriko napetraka taminà mpianatra iray hafa ny fanontaniana, namaly i Munawwar Ali hoe , “Tsy manana mpampianatra Fizika izahay, ny fampiasàna 1.2 fotsiny no mba vitanay tao anatin'ny bokin'ny Matematika, nefa ny fanadinana izao efa manakaiky. |
21 | There's no way for us but to cheat and pass the exams.” | Tsy misy fomba hafa ho anay ankoatry ny fanaovana hosoka mba ho afaka fanadinana.” |
22 | The grievances of the students appear fair and valid. | Toa rariny sy mitombina ny alahelon'ireto mpianatra ireto. |
23 | When I entered a middle school in Ghatti Dhor, I saw students having their classes outdoors, in the veranda, while sitting on the floor. | Rehefa niditra tao aminà sekoly ambaratonga faharoa tao Ghatti Dhor aho, nahita mpianatra mianatra eny ivelan'ny efitrano, eny an-davarangana, mipetraka amin'ny gorodona. |
24 | Only five teachers were present at the school, with many others missing. | Mpianatra dimy ihany no tao an-tsekoly, tsy tonga ny ankamaroany. |
25 | The school building was in shambles. | Ratsy dia ratsy ny trano sekoly. |
26 | Next, I visited the Kapri Muhallah school at Sarbandar, a small town near Gwadar. | Manaraka, notsidihako ny sekoly Kapri Muhallah ao Sarbandar, tanàna kely ao akaikin'i Gwadar. |
27 | Locals there said that the school has long been awarded the status of a middle school (meant for classes 6, 7, and 8) but the dilapidated building only has two rooms. | Nilaza ny tao an-toerana fa efa ela ny sekoly no nakarina ho amin'ny toeran'ny sekoly ambaratonga faharoa (midika hoe misy kilasy faha-6 sy faha-7 ary faha-8) saingy efitrano roa monja no ananan'ilay trano efa konkan'ny ela. |
28 | They also said that many teachers were missing from the school. | Nolazain'izy ireo ihany koa fa betsaka ny mpampianatra no tsy mamonjy ny toeran-piasàny ao an-tsekoly. |

31 | In the view of these findings, I find it hard to see the use of any campaign trying to address cheating in exams. | Eo ampijerena ny fahitàna tahaka izany, hitako sarotra ihany ny hahita ny fampiasàna izao fanentanana rehetra izao hiezahana hiatrehana ny fanaovana hosoka amin'ny fanadinana. |
32 | If the students are not being taught in the first place, if the education infrastructure is not there, and if teachers are missing in most schools, what is the use of this campaign? | Raha tsy ny mpianatra aloha no ampianarina voalohany indrindra, raha tsy eo ny fotodrafitrasa entina manabe, ary tsy mamonjy ny asany ny mpampianatra any amin'ny ankamaroan'ny sekoly, inona no ilàna an'io fanentanana io? |
33 | It's simply a waste of resources. | Fandanindaniam-poana izany. |
34 | The state of education in Pakistan in general is far from satisfactory. | Mbola lavitra ny hahitàna fahafaham-po amin'ny toe-draharaha misy ny fanabeazana ao Pakistana amin'ny ankapobeny. |
35 | Key problems faced to improve the literacy rate are poor infrastructure, the existence of government ghost schools (buildings with no teachers), lack of training for teachers (most of whom aren't qualified) and importantly, financial insecurity which often stops parents from enrolling their children in schools. | Ireo fotodrafitrasa mampahonena, ny fisian'ny sekoly matotoa tantanan'ny governemanta (toeram-pianarana tsy misy mpampianatra), ny tsy fahampian'ny fanofànana ireo mpampianatra (ny amkamaroany no tsy manana ny fari-pahaizana takiana) ary ny tena zava-dehibe indrindra, ny tsy fahalavorarian'ny fiantohana ara-bola, izay mazàna no mahatonga ny ray aman-dreny hitsahatra tsy hampiditra ny zanany any an-tsekoly, ireo no olana fototra atrehan'ny ady atao ho fampiakarana ny tahan'ny fahaizana mamaky teny sy manoratra. |
