Gen Z Students Protest University Policies and Violence in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir

Gen Z Students Protest University Policies and Violence in Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir

Young students in a region called Pakistan-occupied Kashmir are protesting because they are unhappy with their universities.

They are upset about higher school fees and problems with their test scores.

A new computer system used for grading exams made mistakes, causing students to get low marks or even wrong grades, and it took many months for the results to come out.

When students wanted to have their tests checked again, the university charged a lot of money for it.

The protests became more serious when someone shot at the students, hurting one of them.

Now, the students are also protesting against the government and the military.

The university has banned student groups, which the students believe is unfair.

They want the university to forgive the fees for rechecking their tests.

These protests are similar to ones happening in other countries where young people are speaking out about important issues.
