KARACHI: At least 52 ghost schools were uncovered on Friday across different districts in Sindh including Larkana, Hyderabad, Dadu, Tharparkar, Sanghar and Mirpur Khas.
The Sindh Education Foundation (SEF) which is a public-private partnership organization had allocated Rs 50 million to schools in areas where there are no government educational institutes.
The ghost schools were under the supervision of various non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) and the private sector, according to the documents.
It has been learnt that funds were given for schools which either turned out to be ghost schools or did not use the funds properly.
Naheed Durrani, managing director of SEF, said she has written a letter to the anti-corruption department to take action against these schools and to recover the funds.
