The Hamdard Shura has called for uniform education system in the country. This suggestion was presented at a meeting of the Hamdard Shura held on the topic "Our education system and ever-changing global horizons" presided by former Justice Haziq-al-Khairi.
Zubaida Mustafa, who was the chief guest at the meeting, said educational issues should have the highest priorities and there should be a greater emphasis on girls' education because only an educated woman could have a deeper positive impact on the society.
She said that the ground reality is very alarming as there are approximately 23 million children who are not attending schools. Moreover the statistics are not accurate given the fact that the data collecting mechanism has not been modernized.
Dr Rizwana Ansari said that majority of government schools in Sindh are in deplorable state. Incapable teachers are the biggest hurdle in educating children; they instill fear in child thus hurting his/her learning abilities greatly. She said there should be military-style training of teachers in order to discipline them.
Anwar-ul-Haq Siddiqui said basic education should be on top of the agenda of reforms in educational sector. According to him around 91 percent of government schools in Sindh are primary that is why there is major dropout ratio in Sindh.
