Sindh is taking comprehensive measures to address the issue of out-of-school children in the province, aiming to ensure every child’s access to education. Spokesperson Sukhdev Assardas Hemnani highlighted Sindh’s commitment to implementing Articles 25A and 37B of the Constitution by introducing the “Sindh Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2013.”

Hemnani acknowledged the high number of out-of-school children in the country and shared that Sindh has launched multiple programs to meet this challenge.
