Over 1.2m Students Remain Without Free Textbooks News Published In Different News Papers including Daily Dawn Dated 11th August 2023.

We're living in a time where access to education is crucial, and it's disheartening to see the shortage of textbooks in Sindh schools. The Sindh Human Rights Commission has taken suo-motu notice of this matter, and it's a step in the right direction.

Mr. Agha Sohail Ahmed, Chairman of the Sindh Textbook Board in Jamshoro, recently met with Mr. Iqbal Ahmed Detho, Chairperson of SHRC, to discuss the pressing issue of textbook shortages.

During the meeting, it was revealed that the non-availability of free textbooks is a growing concern. The shortages of funds and fluctuation in the value of the dollar have played a significant role in this problem.

Chairperson Detho expressed grave displeasure over this situation, and rightly so. Access to education is a fundamental right, and we must ensure that every child has the resources they need to learn.

The chairperson directed that the authorities work to find solutions to this issue promptly.

Education is a right, not a privilege, and it's our collective responsibility to ensure that all students have access to the materials they need to succeed.
