SUKKUR, Jan 2: The Islami Jamiat Talaba has decided to launch a protest campaign against the denationalization policy of the government.

This was disclosed by the IJT Nazim, Sindh, Hafiz Jameel Ahmed Baloch, while speaking at a press conference on Wednesday.

He said that the policy was aimed at depriving the poor students of their future education.

He said that more than seven and a half lac students would loose their education in Sindh.

Likewise, 1,705 primary schools, 304 middle schools, 297 secondary schools and 70 colleges would also be affected by the policy, which he termed as anti-education.

He said thousands of non-teaching staff and 16,500 teachers would also loose their jobs.

He stressed the need to improve the education department as it had failed to properly manage the education system in schools.
