In terms of education, the situation in Sindh has reached at worst level. A recently published report of Alif Ailaan, ranked province seventh in regards the poor state of facilities and standards of learning in Sindh.
The secondary education of girls is also deprived with low enrolment and high gender parities in secondary NER Gender Gap is 19.6 percent - Boys 59.8 percent vs. Girls 40.2 percent. This ratio in Matiari district is 44.30 percent and retention ratio is 45.13 percent according to the Alif Ailan report District Education Ranking 2015 and in Tando Muhammad Khan - a rich district in agriculture the gender parity 60.85 percent high than the Matiari district and 44.27 percent in retention.
Both districts were low enrolment of girls in secondary schools. Reasons for high female dropout rates are possible factors include: (i) early marriage; (ii) lack of awareness amongst parents and guardians; (iii) opportunity costs; (iv) lack of school facilities, especially separate toilets for girls; and (v) non-conducive environment for professional development of female staff.
Keeping the situation in consideration we intervened project improving girls education and selected 20 government girls secondary schools in both districts with the support of USAID- Small Grants and Ambassador's Fund Program," Javed Hussain, head of Sindh Community Foundation a non- profit organisation working for the girls education in different districts of Sindh said. He said, "Rather than criticise the government, we as a social development organisation intervened a number of strategy to improve enrolment through village's education committee's realization and sensitization on importance of girl's education."
He further added that through the social mobilization process organisation get succeeded to enrol 400 out of school girls who otherwise had to drop and dropped off after completion of the primary education. He said the worst scenario can be changed through provision of transportation for girls from rural areas, modern teaching and management art need to transfer among teachers and school head teachers, provision of water, sanitation facilities along with furniture can improve the learning environment in secondary schools.
By this intervention we provided 1046 girls and new enrolled girls with efforts of SCFs were provided students' kit as low economic profile is also a factor of drop of the girls as families from poor profile cannot affords educational aids. This improved the confidence level and learning level and reduce complex, he claimed.
