PTI calls Sindh gov’s performance in education dept as “Poor”

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf central leader Firdous Shamim Naqvi issued a white paper against Sindh government on what he called “poor performance” of the education department.

According to Naqvi 7,737 schools were running without roofs in the province, and over 1000 schools were housed in a one-room class. “Another 9,000 schools are those where basic necessities are not available and girl’s schools do not have boundary walls,” he said. “Primary schools in the province do not have staff for toilet facility.”

He said that thirteen years ago, 31 per cent of the children were deprived of education, and after 13 years the trend has gone upwards.

Highlighting the performance of Sindh government, the PTI leader said that 174,000 teachers were in the province and most of them performed their duties.

“Free education up to matriculation under the constitution is the responsibility of the government,” he said, adding that severe academic loss has been witnessed due to coronavirus.

“The literacy rate in Sindh is lower than that in Balochistan,” he claimed.
