The launch event of “Promoting Private Schooling in Rural Sindh (PPRS) Project” Phase II was organized by Sindh Education Foundation in March, 2010 at a local hotel in Karachi. PPRS is SEF’s public private partnership initiative supported by the Government of Sindh aiming at increasing access to quality education facilities for the marginalized children of Sindh. Hon’ble Pir Mazhar ul Haq, (Senior Education Minister, GoS), presided the event as Chief Guest and formally launched 101 new private schools as part of PPRS Project Phase 2. The event featured key note addresses by Hon’ble Qaiser Bengali (Advisor to CM), Mr. Mohammad Memon (Director AKU-IED) and Ms. Naheed Durrani (Special Secretary, Finance, GoS) who were in unanimous agreement about the declining state of the country’s educational standards and suggested different models and techniques to improve the situation. The key note speeches set the premise for the panel discussion that involved Dr. Mohammad Memon, Hon’ble Pir Mazhar ul Haque, Hon’ble Sharmila Farooqui (Advisor to Chief Minister) and Lt. Gen (Rtd) Moinuddin Haider (Former Governor Sindh) in a discourse entitled “Quality Education in Public Sector: Need for Innovative Models”. At the end of the seminar, 79 entrepreneurs from 10 districts of Sindh were presented offer letters by the Senior Minister.
