ISLAMABD, AUGUST 13: Syed Sardar Ali Shah, the minister of education for Sindh, declared that over 800,000 new students are expected to be admitted to the state for the current academic year.
As a special guest at a Sindh Education Department event held on Monday at a posh hotel in Karachi, he stressed that headmasters will be expected to plant trees in their schools as part of their job responsibilities.
According to Shah, Sindh’s goal for this year is to raise the enrollment ratio by more than 800,000, with an emphasis on community involvement to improve the efficiency of the school enrollment process.
The “Launch of Sindh Enrollment & Retention Drive 2024-25” event was attended by the Sindh Secretary of School Education, district officers of the Education Department, Abdullah Fadal, a representative of UNICEF Pakistan, K Abid Gill of JICA, Director Operations NCHD Humira Hashmi, Chief Field Officer UNICEF Prem Bahadur Chand, and others.
Several suggestions were made emphasizing the value of community involvement in order to maintain and grow Sindh’s school enrollment. The goal for this year’s enrollment in Sindh has been increased from 800,000 to 900,000, according to Minister Sardar Ali Shah.
He pointed out that over 7,000 schools had reopened and been reactivated as a result of Sindh’s efforts to address the teacher shortage. The speaker further emphasized that, as of right now, 5.2 million students in Sindh attend government schools, 4 million attend private schools, 927,000 attend schools run by the Sindh Education Foundation, and 57,000 receive non-formal education.
The state is mandated by the constitution to provide free education to children between the ages of five and sixteen.

In addition, the headmasters’ performance review will take into account their obligation to plant trees in schools.
