Message from Minister Education
As the Minister of School Education and Literacy Department, Government of Sindh, I place great importance on improving access to secondary education and elevating its quality in the province of Sindh. The inadequate provision of secondary education has been a major hindrance to the development of a competent human resource.
Moreover, last year's floods have exacerbated the situation, causing partial or full damage to over 10,000 schools. Despite these challenges, the Government of Sindh is steadfast in its determination to rebuild the education infrastructure and address the ongoing deficiencies in the education sector, ranging from primary to higher secondary levels.
The School Education and Literacy Department has launched the Sindh Secondary Education Improvement Project (SSEIP), which has received support from the Asian Development Bank in terms of both finance and technical assistance. This comprehensive project comprises four main components: upgrading 160 primary schools, improving the capacity of teachers in five core subjects, reforming examination boards, and providing science labs for 500 schools across Sindh, with 100 schools managed by the Sindh Education Foundation and 400 by the School Education and Literacy Department. Currently, the project is being implemented in ten districts in southern Sindh, with plans to expand to the rest of the province in the future.
While the project is still in its early stages and has faced some challenges, I am working diligently to expedite its implementation. This reform initiative represents a long-term vision for the provincial government and has the potential to transform the education sector once all construction and teacher training has been completed. I cannot emphasize enough that the Education Department cannot successfully undertake such a monumental effort without your continued cooperation and support.
Best wishes,
Syed Sardar Ali Shah
Minister for School Education and Literacy Department
Government of Sindh
