The mismanagement of a school in Sindh has thrust it back into the spotlight. A school-leaving certificate was recently misdated, with the fifth-grade passing date listed as only 8 months after the student’s birthdate, prompting worries among parents and school officials alike.
The document listed the student’s birth date as 20 February 2017, and the date of enrollment as 10 October 2017. This means that the child was admitted to the school barely eight months after birth, indicating a lack of clarity in the administrative processes at the school.
Furthermore, according to the certificate, the pupil appears to have passed grade five on March 31, 2018, five months after entrance. This raises questions about the educational quality of the school as well as the effectiveness of Sindh’s educational system.
The school’s Headmaster, TEO, and Deputy Director have also been chastised for failing to notice the problem and approving the certificate with incorrect dates. The current situation emphasises the significance of improved monitoring and control in educational institutions in order to assure the legitimacy and reliability of certifications and reports.
