Sir: I want to draw your kind attention on the bad condition of government schools in Karachi. Pakistan is a developing country and 60 percent of its population is living in acute poverty. Education is important for the progress of a country. Kids hailing from low-income families are preferably admitted to government schools. Government schools are neglected by the state. Huge funds are reserved to improve the status of government schools but due to corruption these funds are not spent on schools, hence resulting in poor quality education and bad infrastructure at schools. Even the teachers in government schools are least concerned in providing education to the less privileged students. Most of the teachers don’t care about education. They use the students for their personal works. Government need to place strict, honest and punctual administrators in government schools to improve their standard. RIDA SHAKIL Karachi
