District Education Officer Reviews Schools to Strengthen Learning Environment

District Education Officer (Female), Zaratun Bibi, inspected government schools across Sub-Divisions Pasni and Ormara. She evaluated the school learning environment, teaching conditions, infrastructure, and available facilities. The visit aimed to identify gaps that affect student learning and propose actionable improvements.

Key Issues Identified

The inspections revealed urgent concerns. Many schools face staff shortages, poor building conditions, limited classrooms, and inadequate sanitation. Overcrowded classrooms affect the quality of teaching and learning. As an immediate measure, Zaratun Bibi directed temporary green sheds to ease classroom shortages.

Commending Support Initiatives

The DEO praised UNICEF-supported Early Childhood Education (ECE) classes. These programmes provide young learners with a strong start in a safe and engaging environment. She also acknowledged the Coast Guard’s role in maintaining high standards at Pasni schools, improving cleanliness, safety, and discipline.

Follow-Up Meetings and Future Plans

A meeting with middle school principals highlighted long-term improvements. The discussion focused on filling staff gaps and upgrading school facilities. Strengthening administrative support and monitoring progress will ensure better student outcomes. As a result, the district plans to prioritise these areas in upcoming inspections.

Commitment to Better Learning Environments

The DEO’s school visits underscore the commitment to improving local education. By addressing facility and staffing gaps, the district aims to create a cleaner, safer, and more inclusive school learning environment for all students.
