The Minister Education directed Additional Secretary to find out the cause of drop out and try to cease it at all costs .

He was startled to see that a Private School was also being run in government schools’ premises. He directed the DO concerned to submit a detailed report in this regard.

Jam Mehtab Hussain Dahar, has also taken serious notice of stagnant rain water in government girls/boys school Korangi no 3, and has directed Additional Secretary Education to take action against the headmaster concerned.
