Quality education

The government should focus on betterment of government schools

KARACHI: Quality education is the basic right of every human being. Education plays a vital role in the advancement of every country. This is why no one should be denied education. In Karachi, government schools are the worst. The reason behind this is teachers because they are neither punctual nor regular. That is why parents are admitting their children into private schools. From private schools they get everything available to them like professional teachers, proper chairs, good infrastructure and quality education. But for that parents require money and a lot of it. The government officially announced that private institutions can increase only 5% fees annually but they are not obeying laws and increasing the fee by 20% to 30% every year.

The government should focus on betterment of government schools because education is the real strength of a nation and the government must enact strict laws on private schools to stop yearly increase of fees.
