School facilities

Each day, over 150 students and three dedicated teachers gather at the Government Boys Primary School in Haji Laal Bux Waseer village in Ghotki to keep the flame of education alight. This they do under the open sky as there is no roof overhead. These students face harsh weather conditions, yet their commitment to learning remains unwavering. The same goes for the three teachers. Unfortu-nately, the school lacks a proper building, forcing the teachers and the students to sit under the trees. The plight of these children, teachers and their villages has gone unnoticed by political leaders and government officials for over two decades now. Is there any point in even hoping that things will change after the elections?
