Government of Sindh has been working diligently to improve the quality and access to education in Sindh. U.S. Government and Government of Sindh have joined hands to provide school environment conducive to teaching and learning by constructing new school buildings in populated and targeted districts of Sindh. We recognize that many of our children have barriers to accessing education. Several schools were affected by 2010 floods in Sindh. Construction of new government school buildings would remove these barriers and provide quality education to children in populated areas. It would also increase and sustain enrollment of young students and contribute to building tolerant and cohesive communities. 

This is one of the best investments which would lead to economic and social progress in our beloved province of Sindh. I am grateful to USAID for funding construction of nearly 120 schools in seven districts and five towns of Karachi. Sindh Basic Education Program (SBEP) has also been providing technical assistance to Education and Literacy Department, Government of Sindh and supporting policy reforms to achieve SBEP goals. 

This program would provide access to quality education and change lives of thousands of children who are currently deprived of attaining such facility. It would undoubtedly leave a long lasting positive impact on the future of our generation.
