The shortage of teachers in Sindh has long been a pressing and critical issue. This challenge has not only compromised the quality of education but has also significantly hindered access to schooling for children in remote and underdeveloped areas. Adding to this concern is the lack of continuous, professional training for educators, which directly affects learning outcomes and the long-term development of students.

The current leadership of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) has been acutely aware of these dual challenges. For the Sindh Government, education has always remained a top priority because it firmly believes that education is the cornerstone of national progress. The PPP’s commitment to education goes far beyond rhetoric. It is visible in practical, far-reaching steps that aim to increase literacy, restore functionality in public schools, and enhance the overall quality of education across the province. From the nationalisation of educational institutions during Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s era to Benazir Bhutto’s visionary “Parho Pakistan” campaign, the party’s historical legacy underscores a deep-rooted focus on making education accessible to the common citizen. Ensuring that children from poor and marginalised communities receive a quality education has always been an integral part of the PPP’s manifesto. A recent example of this commitment is the 12.4% increase in Sindh’s education budget for 2024-25, signalling the government’s determination to address the growing needs of this vital sector. The increased allocation is intended to meet infrastructure needs, enhance student learning, and enable new recruitment and training programs across the province.
