Bad state of education

Despite Sindh govt's tall claims about improving education by asking the HEC to work efficiently

SHIKARPUR: The Sindh government has made tall claims about improving education by asking the HEC to work efficiently and remove all corrupt officials. Despite these claims, the education sector in Sindh is in a shambles.

One such example is the current state of Shaikh Ayaz University in Shikarpur. Teachers and students have been facing numerous hardships because of negligence by the government. The teachers have not received their salaries for the past four months and they are not taking classes and have been protesting for days. The students are suffering because of this. Yet the government claims to have rectified the education system.

We live in the age of technology, and many countries have attained great success, while we are still struggling to fix our education system. Setbacks are only hindering our country’s progress and harming our people.
