KARACHI: The Sindh Textbook Board (STBB) has failed in printing and distributing textbooks to government schools across the province, ARY News reported on Monday.
The books are distributed to the children studying in government schools by the STBB before the commencement of the new academic year, but the authorities have failed this year.
It has been learnt through sources that private publishers have cut down the printing of government textbooks by 40 per cent due to non-payment of money.
Meanwhile, the books printed by the Sindh Textbook Board have also not been distributed among the children.
