Senior Provincial Minister for Education and Literacy Pir Mazhar-ul-Haq has directed the Secretary Education Sindh to establish informal literacy centres for those children who do not go to school for certain reasons. This he said while talking to the children who worked at a tea hotel at Mohallah Gharibabad in Dadu City, said a statement issued here on Sunday.

On this occasion the children working there told the Minister that they were unable to get education due to poverty. Mazhar ul Haq directed the district Education Officer Dadu, Sher Zaman Soomor, to establish three non-formal literacy centres at Machi Market, Gharibabad and Marck Pur Mohallah UC 4 to provide education to these children.

The Minister called upon the retired teachers to perform voluntary services at these non-formal literacy centres so that these children would be able to get education.
