The education sector in Sindh paints a bleak picture. And when it comes to educating girls, it fares even worse. Some major reasons for the low literacy rate among women are lack of educational facilities, poverty and early marriage.
The other main reason is that people living in villages are mostly uneducated. They take no interest in their children’s schooling. The tragedy is that the government’s role in educating girls is totally missing. The government need to introduce social reforms so that people’s perspective about education can be changed.

Kakrario village in Tharparkar district consists of some 250 households. There is only one primary school which was constructed in the 1980s. Years of neglect, harsh weather and earthquakes have rendered the building unsuitable for use.
The people of the area as well as elected representatives are equally responsible for the decay of education in the village – villagers because they do not care about their children’s studies, and elected representatives because they hardly pay attention to the needs of their constituencies once elected to assemblies.
