Sindh removes 3000 sham schools from its system, says Ghani

Sindh education and labour minister Saeed Ghani  revealed the provincial government has removed 3,000 schools from its system as those registered schools did not actually exist.

He spoke during a session of the Sindh Assembly and answering a question, he said that multiple schools were built in places where only one school was required.
“No planning was carried out for the constructed schools either.”

The minister added that the government will remove more skeleton schools and will only run those which are required in accordance with the needs of their respective areas.

“If there are six schools in an area but only two are needed there, then we will shut down the remaining four schools,” the minister said. “There should be at least 30 children in a school for it to be functional.”

During the session, PTI MNA Haleem Adil Sheikh remarked at Ghani asking whether he opened any schools in Sindh or is only busy addressing jalsas.

Responding which the provincial minister said he is a member of a political party and conducting jalsas is also a part of his job. He then added that he is “ready to answer stupid questions too”.

Answering another question related to visiting schools, Saeed Ghani said that “only Superman can visit all 49,000 schools in the province”.

“I cannot visit all the schools,” he said.
