Seven schools functioning in one compound
KARACHI, Feb 7(Dawn): Seven government primary and secondary schools are
located in a single boundary wall in Omar Lane, UC-9 of Lyari
Town.
During a recent visit to the locality, Lyari Town Nazim Malik
Muhammad Fayyaz was surprised to see that six government primary schools and one
secondary Sindhi medium school were functioning in a signal boundary wall while
a new secondary school was also being established in the premises.
The
town nazim found that substandard material was being used in the construction
and directed the EDO education to prepare a report so that action could be taken
against the concerned contractor. He stressed the need for convening an urgent
meeting of all concerned departments in this regard.
A recent survey
conducted by the Strengthening Participatory Organization Karachi showed that
there were several instances where more than one government schools were
established in the same compound. Besides, the report stated that there were
more government schools in Lyari as compared to private sector. However, the
ratio of students in private schools is higher than government schools.
