According to the Reports Girls’ education in Sindh is dreadfully low, at 39 per cent, while boys’ ratio is 61 per cent. The general literacy in the province is 62 per cent, which is again one point lower than the last year’s at 63 percent.

Large numbers of girls are forced to stay out of school due to belonging to remote and backward areas or financial difficulties.

Referring to Standardized Achievement Test (SAT) that is conducted by the Sindh government every year for students of 5th and 7th grades, Locals said the overall output of students was below 30 per cent particularly the girls score was even worse.
