Education System in Sindh: What’s wrong with it?

The involvement of politics is one of the factors behind the drastic condition of the education system in Sindh. Political leaders are involved in appointing the education ministers and the appointment of vice-chancellors of the universities. A common word is used as a GHOST teacher. It is a term used for all those teachers who are appointed on the source of political involvement and they don’t go to schools, never teach and just get salaries. There are many such teachers in the education and literacy department Sindh. Institutions working under the government, like Boards of Intermediate, are corrupt, they receive money from students in return for awarding A grades. Moreover, the government policies have a greater impact on the education system, like recently government hired JST and  HST teachers. The government announced a policy that all those who have a B.ed degree are eligible to apply. Resultantly those who could just hardly clear the exam were appointed. Whereas, many graduates who have done 4 years of Bachelor’s degrees were not even allowed to sit in the exam. Again talent was suppressed and priorities were given to those who have done B.ED only. Even though they are not that much capable. If the government provides equal opportunities, more talented people may come and revolutionalize the weak educational system. They will make this system worthy of quality learning which in turn brightens the future for Sindh.

Technology has grabbed the world, everywhere the education system is getting better day-by-day but incase of Sindh it is worsening. There are lots of primary and higher secondary schools that are not functional since ages, there are some schools that are just in records but having no physical existence. The world is developing rapidly that they are modifying their labs with updated equipment and on the other hand, students lack basic facilities like proper building, furniture, and electricity in Sindh. It is quite difficult for poor students to survive in such a challenging environment.
