They said this during a seminar titled ‘Quality Education and Our Responsibilities’ organized by education forum Islamabad which was attended by various stakeholders including educationists, parents and representatives of different private and public sector education associations. Zahra recalled that the situation in this regard in the private educational institutions was, however, better as they classified 20 students in each section. While highlighting the overwhelming issues in the country education system, an education expert Akbar Yazdani said that quality education, especially in the public sector, was on the verge of collapse. A parent, Mahmoona Shahid said that due to unavailability of proper facilities and quality education the parents are compelled to turn to private sector educations. According to some reports, many public sector educational institutions in the Punjab, Sindh and even in Islamabad don’t have boundary walls and toilets too.
