interested in improving literacy rate.
He recalled that when he was a student, text books of the Bombay (now Mumbai) Text Book Board used to recommended and Sindhi and Arabic were also taught as languages, besides science and mathematics.
“We have been experimenting in the domain of education for the past 20 years and have yet to evolve a proper workable module,” he regretted. “If you do not give the students a level playing field, I see a bleak future for them in the country.”
Shafqat Jamote said the standard of education in Sindh had deteriorated to the extent that even graduates failed to get a job.
Mustafa Rajpar lauded the initiative of MDF and said it was encouraging to see a teachers’ manual. He said students who failed to learn at the elementary level fell behind in all other areas of cognitive development.
He explained that the goal of MDF was to promote better teaching, learning and reading skills at elementary level through interactive and participatory learning resource material.
He said 81 teachers have received training about the teaching methodology and the teachers’ manuals of MDF for English and Mathematics were in accordance with National Curriculum Policy of 2006 and Sindh Textbook Board Syllabus 2014. He said manuals have been translated in Sindhi and Urdu so the teachers in rural and urban Sindh also understand them properly.
