“Despite my serious and sincere efforts, I have not achieved congenial results in education sector,” he said and added “yes, with the partnership of private sector we have improved health services,” he said.

“Our partnership with Bahria is old one and we are working together at Petaro and Sanghar Cadet Colleges and this partnership is further strengthening,” he said and invited other forces to come over and work with the provincial government for improving educational system.

“We have made a considerable expansion in education sector right from primary to college and college to university level but now time has come to consolidate them but making them best institutions,” he said and added “this would be possible when private sector, teachers, parents and civil society would come over to extend help hand with the government,” he said.

Commander Karachi Rear Admiral Athar Mukhtar in his speech briefed the chief minister about the school constructed by Pakistan Naval Education Trust for Rs110 million in which the Sindh government has contributed Rs60 million.
