HYDERABAD: Girls’ education is the need of the hour to compete with emerging global development. These views were expressed by speakers at the launching ceremony of a project titled “Improving Girls Education Status in 20 Government Schools” launched by the Sindh Community Foundation (SCF) in collaboration with the USAID-Small Grants and Ambassador’s Fund Program-SGAFP. They suggested to fill the gap through strengthening collaboration within all actors in girls education, saying a large number of girls after passing out primary education in rural areas do not have easy access to reach secondary and high schools.
