Karachi, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News – 27th September, 2016) : Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah accepted while addressing a seminar on education on Tuesday that 6 million children in Sindh are out of school.
The province might have led others in passing article 25-a in the assembly, a law which recognizes free education for children aged between five and 16 as a fundamental right, but it has lagged behind when it comes to its implementation.
The chief minister said that the state of education in Sindh was being dealt with on an emergency basis. “Educating children is our foremost priority,” he said. He added that in the provincial budget education department gets a lion’s share.
Experts however argue that these funds remain largely unutilized. CM Sindh said that each school in Sindh needed to equip with basic facilities.
