Sir: I want to draw the attention of concerned authorities to the condition of public schools in Karachi. The majority of public schools lack basic facilities, including clean drinking water and proper furniture. The primary education sector must be the government’s top priority. The condition of government primary schools in the city and the quality of education being imparted there is going from bad to worse. There are lot of other public schools whose infrastructure is beyond dilapidated. The water tanks are not clean and are infested with insects. A number of public school students get stick after drinking water from these tanks. The government must concentrate on the education sector and take revolutionary steps to improve it. The primary education sector needs to be brought up to modern educational standards. This is the need of the country and its teeming millions.
