Karachi education

Published September 24, 2016

A SOUND education system forms the base of a developed country. The situation in our country is going down at least in Karachi as the Board of Secondary Education Karachi and the Board of Intermediate Education Karachi are in a deplorable condition.

Matters at the intermediate board are more alarming, owing to the mismanagement and corruption that has crept into this institution.

The authorities need to take action on a war-footing and clean up this Augean stable to restore the education standards of Karachi to the level it once enjoyed when students of Karachi would compete among the best in the world and emerged with laurels.

It is only a good education that will teach our youth to be the best of the rest. God bless Pakistan!
