Addressing a press conference, Sindh’s Education Minister Sardar Shah said on Friday that continuing education in flood-prone areas is a challenge. He directed all the concerned officers to reopen the schools in all the flood-hit areas within 15 days.

The Minister said that some of the schools will take around three years to resume their operations, and said that the government has devised a plan to recommence education in disaster-hit districts.

He continued by saying that the Chief Minister (CM) of Sindh, Murad Ali Shah, had also been approached for help by the Education Ministry in the development of temporary tent schools.

He further said that 15,000 tent classrooms are being built in areas impacted by the floods.
