The sixth edition of the Annual State of Education Report (Aser), released on Thursday, makes for a damning indictment of Sindh’s education sector as it proffers statistics that would – in an ideally developed society – leave governments red-faced and with no option but to quit or face the sack for abject performance.
This is how it goes: Even in the year 2015-16, almost a quarter (24pc) of Sindh’s children aged between 6 and 16 are out of school; of the remaining 76 percent, 55 percent of Class-V students can’t read Class-II level Urdu text and only 24 percent can comprehend written English. |
