In order to ensure provision of better primary education to the children living in far-flung rural areas of the districts, the Sindh government is launching a programme to provide education by establishing schools.
"In the first phase of the three and a half years project, a total of 1,000 schools would be established in ten districts of the province out of them 200 schools would be made functional by March 2009," sources in the education and literacy department told Business Recorder on Monday.
They said that the project - Free Quality Education for All - had been designed to empower disadvantaged communities towards social change by creating and facilitating new approaches to learning and education.
The pilot phase of the project would be spearheaded by the Sindh Education Foundation, Government of Sindh, and the World Bank (WB) was providing technical support, they said. Initially, the project would be started in ten districts of the province including Larkana, Qamber-Shahdadkot, Dadu, Sanghar, Mithi, Khairpur, Thatta, Shaheed Benazir Bhutto (Nawabshah), Badin and Umerkot.
