Education plays a vital role in social development and economic growth of any nation. Education is necessary for career purpose but it also enhances the understanding, wisdom and vision of an individual.

Islam asks its followers to seek education. The first word of Quran is “Iqra”, which means “Read”. One of the sayings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is “Seek Education even if it to be in China”.

In the constitution of Pakistan, provision of education is declared as the responsibility of the state. In our country, government runs most of the education institutions.

Education Department, District Jamshoro is responsible for planning, monitoring and evaluation of the education system at the district level. Under the devolution plan introduces in 2001, many aspects of educational planning and management have been decentralized and now district governments are responsible for the development of education in their respective areas.
