School girls to wear Ajrak as part of uniform in Sindh

[Peaceful Civilian]

Look the priorities of Sindh . You should not force anyone for this, leave on people choice. People will start hating this culture.

But but Bilawal's Speech his Angrezi accent OMG

 

[Menace2Society]

PPP consists of retards. They are worse than PMNL. Their minds are so simple and basic they made a little girl with tourism degree a foreign minister. PPP will die soon and good riddance.

 

[El Sidd]

Brilliant Initiative

 

[CIS-TRANS]

Not very different from five of India's states, I see.

This is why right to vote should be on the basis of minimum education and not just a birthright.

Yes, it will make sense and encourage people to put education in priority list.

 

[Tshering22]

Yes, it will make sense and encourage people to put education in priority list.

Totally agree.

One major solution it would give way to, would be forcing people to have less kids so that they can give quality education to one or two kids.

And also will force politicians to encourage their supporters to have education for voting rights, atleast it might be the first step towards the better life standard in the region.

School girls to wear Ajrak as part of uniform in Sindh

• Karachi

11 HOURS AGO BY NEWS DESK

The newly-elected Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) government in Sindh has announced to make Ajrak as part of the uniform for girls in all secondary and higher secondary government schools.

According to a recently issued notification, the use of Ajrak will be made part of the school uniform for the girl students from class IX to XII.

To ensure the directives and implement the policy, the government has nominated Sadaf Akbar Memon as its focal person. She will be responsible to “visit schools under the administrative control of this directorate randomly.”

The focal person will be responsible to look after the progress of implementation of the uniform policy and submit report on monthly basis.


Ajrak is a unique form of blockprinted shawls and tiles found in Sindh, Pakistan. These shawls display special designs and patterns made using block printing by stamps.

In 2012, it was reported that instead of the conventional dupattas or scarves, the girl students in the schools and colleges of the province may soon be wearing ajraks – a trademark of the Indus Valley Civilisation – as districts governments have decided to make the traditional chaddar a part of uniform.

70% of ghost schools in Pakistan are in Sindh and this is their priority

In the heat seasons how can they wear this Shawl? Though u think it's a good move remembering past culture and tradition more importance should on quality of Education.

Some corrupt PPP MNA or MPA will get contract to supply ajrak to schools ............. lol .. new ways of making money ...

 

[Shamsher1990]

You guys need to kick these PPP and PMLNOP parties out. Your PTI did a good job in KPK. Elect on those folks.

 

[Imad.Khan]

This is the height of discrimination against men, why do only women get the pleasure of wearing ajrak? why do men have to miss out on these amazing initiatives by the Sindh govt?

 

[third eye]

Here we go again !

.. and I thought such things happened only in my country.

Moves such as these serve only one purpose- to give the impression of change / improvement with nothing to show on the ground.

The usual ploy is changing names . I wonder if Montgomery became any better after being re named Sahiwal or if Calcutta took huge leaps in development on being renamed Kolkatta.

 

[Yaseen1]

attempt to make them seem different from rest of Pakistan to damage nation unity.

 

[graphican]

and wearing Ajrak will increase the literacy rate of interior sindh ... our political parties are smart enough to divert the attention of people from real issues to non issues

This attempt is actually a backup plan. When corrupt in Sindh like Zardari will be nabbed, they will as a last resort fall back on Sindh card. The notion of Sindh card had gone weak in the last 10 years as PPP has been in power consequentially, and they didn't need to invoke provincial insecurities while they were safe and ruling the territory themselves. But now as their tale is under the tyres, you will find them using cultural aspects to make Sindhi realise that they are different - and a non-Sindhi PM should not stop their Sindhi Leaders from leading them to havens.

Wont matter, according to the brainwashed masses of interior Sindh and many Sindhis.. Bhutto is going to come alive due to Ajraking .

There is a reason Saeens are stuck in Saeenpan. Until their feudal lords are executed en masse, Balochistan will develop into a modern society but Sindh will remain in tatters(same could be said of multiple areas of Punjab but it would deviate, however the personality worship disease of the ignorant is common all along).

P.S

Education does not always remove ignorance
