Sindh Education Foundation MD Naheed Shah, while briefing the meeting, explained the financial difficulties being experiences by her organisation in running the schools and management together.
She said that annual allocation of SEF in current budget was Rs 2.2 billion but 77.56 percent of the total budget was being consumed only on the children’s subsidy, while the remaining amount was left for salaries of teachers and administrative staff, assessments and training activities, besides marketing operations. Giving the statistical data, she said the SEF has total 5,237 schools to run, out of which 2,376 schools were SEF Schools in un-served/backward areas in the province.
