- 565 primary, middle schools either closed or non-functional
BADIN: The Laar education emergency camp has been installed in Badin for the provision of quality education to people.
The aim of installing these camps, besides providing quality education, is to lay stress on the government and concerned authorities to maximise their efforts in providing quality education to the students.
On the occasion, Pir Abid Shah, Badin Press Club President Tanveer Ahmed Arain, Shahnawaz Siyal, Muhammad Ali Khatak, Bahadur Talpur, Peer Abid Shah Rashidi, Ramzan Rind, Muhammad Khan Arisar and others were also present.
A large number of youths, hailing from different towns and cities of the district, gathered at the erected camps led by Mukesh Meghwar, Advocate Ram Kolhi, Kawish Latif Jokhio, Mohan Meghwar, Ghulam Rasool Soomro, Karim Soomro and others.
Organisers of the camp intend to draw the attention of the elected representatives, local politicians, education minister and officials towards deteriorating condition of the education in the district, as according to them, most of the schools of rural areas are deprived of the basic facilities.
The management of the camp has also demanded from the government to reopen all the closed schools in the district.
People expressed their grave concerns over deteriorating standard of education in Badin.
While talking to local media, people were of the view that 56 per cent children of the district are not yet registered in the schools and 565 primary and middle schools are closed or non-functional in the district.
Mostly girls, particularly from rural areas, hardly acquire an education beyond primary level and boys also leave schools after secondary education due to the system, they added and emphasised that change in the education system is a must.
Demanding for provision of required facilities at primary, middle, secondary and higher level, they said that negligence in education system is unacceptable and termed this installation of the camp in the city as a small step for raising the standard of education and for showing their willingness to collaborate with the government when it comes to education.
