KARACHI: The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Karachi chapter on Tuesday took the Sindh government to task for not upgrading provincial education system to cope with Covid-19 even after a gap of a year.

PTI leader Khurrum Sher Zaman said that the restoration of educational activities after the lockdown in the province had become a challenge for the provincial government.

He claimed that no arrangement had been made in government schools of the province for online classes.

He further said the incompetence of the provincial information technology and education ministers was pushing the future of children to darkness.

The PTI leader said that students studying in government schools had suffered more because of the lockdown in the province.
