Approximately 95pc of the education budget is consumed by staff salaries, including ghost staff, and only 5pc is spent on upgrading schools and maintenance. Thatta has the worst condition in terms of facilities as only 33pc of the schools there have toilets, only 17pc have water, 12pc have electricity and 37pc have a boundary wall. These are some of the points highlighted in a report titled ‘Access to education — Sindh district profiles and rankings’, which was launched on Friday at a local hotel. The report is prepared by the Manzil Pakistan, a non-governmental organisation, on the state of primary education in Sindh. It covers enrolment rate, proportion of functional schools, size of schools and presence of necessary physical facilities in schools.
