KARACHI: United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission Director Reed Aeschliman and Sindh Education Minister Syed Sardar Ali Shah inaugurated new high school in Karachi, constructed through US government-funded Sindh Basic Education Programme (SBEP).

Newly constructed Government Secondary School in Orangi Town offers students and faculty state-of-the-art classrooms, computer and science labs, a health room and a library.

USAID is supporting construction of 106 schools across 10 districts in Sindh in partnership with Sindh government.

“Like our Government of Pakistan counterparts, USAID believes that true and lasting development starts with education,” Mission Director Aeschliman said. “That is why USAID continues to work so actively in this sector to expand education opportunities from primary to post-graduate levels.” Attendees included USAID officials, Sindh Secretary of Education Ghulam Akbar Laghari, community elders, teachers, students and parents.

Education Minister Sardar Ali Shah expressed his appreciation for US government’s support in modernising education in Sindh through province’s ongoing partnership with USAID. Through SBEP, USAID has invested $ 159.2 million in school construction in Sindh.
