KARACHI:

Sindh Minister for Education and Mineral Development of Sindh, Syed Sardar Ali Shah, stated that despite the federal government's announcement of an education emergency a few months ago, no clear policy has emerged about the collaboration with the provinces to improve the education system. He added that no consultation was done with them before the education emergency was announced. He expressed these views while speaking to the media after attending a ceremony as the chief guest, organised by the Sindh Education Foundation (SEF) at a local hotel.

He mentioned that due to heavy rains, 20,000 schools in Sindh have been affected, and two million children are forced to study in challenging conditions, with school buildings no longer fit for sitting. It is surprising that the federal government decided on an education emergency, yet there is no clear policy for the 26 million out-of-school children. He urged the federal government to play its role in the restoration of the flood-affected schools.
