The provincial government has decided to resume academic activities in public sector schools situated in flood-affected areas of Sindh.
The education department together with district administration is setting up tent schools in relief camps made for the flood victims.
On Monday, Sindh Education Minister Syed Sardar Ali Shah inaugurated the first tent school in Umerkot. He expressed his determination that the education of the children affected from floods will not be harmed.
The minister spent some time in the tent school with the flood-affected children and directed the secretary of school education department to establish schools in the relief camps across Sindh. He said that if the measure was not taken, nearly 2.5 million children would have left the schools.
Sardar Shah also ordered the deputy commissioners (DCs) and district education officers (DEOs) concerned to set up tent schools in all possible areas and monitor them closely.
College students facilitated
Sindh College Education Department has decided to allow students displaced by floods to attend classes at any college near them.
Due to the cataclysmic floods in Sindh, many students of grade XI and XII were displaced and their education was disrupted, DG Colleges Muhammad Ali Manjhi said talking to Daily Express.
The education department has taken this decision to save the educational year of the flood affected students, he said and continued, “but the examination of the displaced students will be held in their original colleges where they are enrolled.”
