Education system in Sindh is being ruined and percentage of enrolment of children's in schools is decreasing day by day. Recently, an education week was celebrated by government/ non-governmental organisations for increasing enrolment but due to the notification issued by Sindh government/secretary education in which birth certificate was made mandatory in schools, about 95 percent children would be deprived of enrolment in schools.
To draw attention to the matter, Sparc organised a protest rally from DPO Office to Press Club in which representatives of NGOs/civil society and a large number of children participated. Addressing the participants, Kashif Bajeer National Manager Sparc, Zahid Thebo Programme Co-ordinator, Sajid Wagan District Co-ordinator said Sindh government should depart the notification and make sure that every child is enrolled in school to ensure their bright future.
Bajeer said Sparc deems that every child has the right of identity and for this purpose, it has already have linked thousands of children of freed bonded labourers with Nadra for birth registration in Hyderabad, Sanghar, Umarkot, Mirpurkhas, Badin and Mithi. Government should start a separate campaign for birth registration of every child in all over Sindh and issue notification of free of cost birth registration, he maintained.
He further said that Sparc is celebrating awareness campaign week regarding enrolment of children in schools with the support of Child Rights Committees in 60 districts of the country, 16 of Sindh. Due to the unavailability of birth certificate this campaign will be futile in Sindh. At the end of the rally, he demanded Sindh government to withdraw the notification.
