KARACHI, Nov 12: The directorate of private institutions, Sindh, has asked all unregistered private schools to get registered within 30 days or face legal action.

Through a press release issued here on Wednesday, director of private institutions Mansoob Hussain Siddiqui also asked all private elementary schools (Nursery to Class-VIII) which had earlier got their registration certificates from the executive district officers (education) concerned to submit a copy of their certificate with the directorate’s office within the next 30 days to facilitate computerisation of private schools’ record.

The directorate has recently been authorised by the provincial education department to register private elementary schools through a notification. Prior to the issuance of the notification, it was the EDO (education) who used to exercise the authority of registering elementary schools.
