HYDERABAD: All private schools have been warned of a jail term if they continue to defy the government’s directives to teach Sindhi as a compulsory subject. The regional directorate of private institutions, on Saturday, gave a month’s time to the schools in the Hyderabad division to implement the order. If they failed, the school executives will be penalised with up to three years of imprisonment or Rs500 fine per day, which will be calculated from the day a school was set up. According to a press release, the Sindh Private Education Institutions Ordinance, 2001, and Sindh Private Education Rules, 2005, will be applied against the defiant schools.
