The Literacy & Education in Sindh



Of all the other provinces, Sindhi is far most lacking behind in education. the education in Sindhi is horribly wrong and devastatingly ugly. 

Why?

Partly due to the fact, that corruption still prevails in the country and partly due to fact the no one really gives a heap about it. There are many different organizations and social sector NGOs working for the betterment of the society- opening schools to promote and encourage education- especially female education.

The condition of education in Sindh, is hideous for around 60% of the schools do not have proper drinking water facilities and there is no electricity in almost of the schools in Sindh. The rural areas of Sindh, education is highly discouraged.

For the success of any province or a nation at large, education is the ultimate significant factor. It is a part of the basic rights of human beings living in country to be provided by the state. The only development mankind has seen since his existence, has been only possible through quality education.
It has been quoted by different philosophers including, "

Since the creation of Pakistan, illiteracy has been one of the strongest forces in the downfall. The reason behind the constantly decreasing standards of life, increase in number of people living below the poverty line and alarmingly growing rate of population all signify a nation of people: who lack basic knowledge and guidance significant for their survival.

With that being said, different provinces in Pakistan show different results. With Punjab being the most educated and Sindh among the lower end. The literacy rate of Sindh is alarmingly low and the drop out of primary education is amazingly high.


How can we expect a production of intellectuals, best brains, quality researchers- in given circumstances? For it's not just the government or the failure of social sector that has contributed to the making of this system, but the whole public- each individual. The individuals, follow their herd. For they do not even do their part and just blame the superior authorities. It can only get better if individuals learn their responsibility and focus on the personal level. And if the government, ever HONESTLY wills to better the system!
