State-of-the-art school built in Rehri Goth
Most of the teachers of the school are properly trained under the special initiative of GCT for teachers’ training. The centre for educational research and development, the training division of the trust, has so far conducted thousands of teacher trainings in the province, out of which 1,300 are associated with 165 schools run by the trust.
The school is now equipped with modern, scientific computer laboratories, library, and staff rooms for teachers. It will also be duly registered with the Sindh Government’s education department and affiliated with Board of Secondary Education Karachi.
Most of the construction and upgrading work took place at a very swift pace during the last summer vacations to avoid interruption of academic activities.
Memon acknowledged that Sindh government still had much to do to safeguard the future of children of such backward areas. She, on behalf of Sindh government, announced full support for future endeavours of GCT in the field of education.
