Karachi: In a bid to standardize and build public’s trust on Government educational institutions Sindh Education Minister Sardar Ali Shah enrolled his daughter and two nieces in a government primary school in Hyderabad on Friday intent to strengthen and improve the standards of Government Schools. He accompanied with brother Syed Sartaj Shah, daughter, Kaiful Wara and nieces Uneza and Aliza visited Government Girls Pilot (Miran) Secondary and Primary School in Hirabad
He filled the admission form of his daughter to enroll her in class 4th who was previously enrolled in Bahria Foundation School in Umerkot district. His niece Uneza and Aliza enroll in class four and six respectively. Students will attend the school from today.
Speaking to the media, the minister said he has fulfilled his commitment, which he had made in the assembly, to provide government school education to his children. He added that he has set an example for the other government functionaries, government school teachers and rich people to enroll their children in pubic schools as well.
“The government teachers send their own children to private schools but teach the children of others at government schools,” observed Shah, pointing it out as one of the problems affecting the quality of education. “If these teachers were teaching their own children in their classrooms, the standard of education would definitely improve.”
He said the people who work for government schools do not own the institutions, which adversely affects the quality. “But, now I can question these teachers to tell me where their children study.”
