PAKISTAN | The Provincial Ombudsman Sindh stresses the importance of investing in the education of girls

In a follow-up meeting with Education Department, the Provincial Ombudsman Sindh opined that countries that invest well in girls’ education have lower maternal and infant rate, low rate of HIV /AIDS and better childhood nutrition.

Therefore, there is a need to assess the performance of schools and quality of education through developing a system for reviewing the achievements of the schools by identifying the bench mark for assessment of their performance, followed by a mechanism for redressal of problems for improvement.

He suggested that the Education Department in consultation with the AAP Secretariat may consider this proposal in Phase-II of AAP or through alternative means of funding.
