Non-functional schools
January 05, 2021
It is a common experience the world over that younger students tend to avoid school, but in developing countries it is the other way round. In these countries, teachers and education department officials too bunk off school and work. This is one of the misfortunes, among many, of the Third World countries. Corruption at every level, teachers and education department employees staying away from duty and serious lack of facilities mark the sorry state of education in Sindh. The gravity of the issue can be gauged from the fact that out of the 2,229-odd government schools in Dadu district, 450 remained completely closed last year. This means that around 20% schools kept their doors closed to students; and among the non-functional schools 198 exist on paper only. Such a sizable number of ghost schools are to be found only on the government record.
