Sindh is considered as Bab-ul-Islam (the gateway of Islam), as it saw the first spread of Islam into South Asia. It has its own unique culture and traditions, customs and has deeply rooted in the Sindh, one of the world’s oldest civilizations, the Indus Valley Civilization etc. Sindh has remained the gateway or center of knowledge, Islam, but if we compare today’s Sindh educational system and past, in the time of Shah Abdul Latif Bhettai, Unfortunately, we we find huge gaps. Condition of education in Sindh has pathetic and poor, according to the report Punjab and KP have brought improvement in the educational sector. Meanwhile, Sindh, Balochistan, and FATA’s performance have remained very deficient in the educational field. Especially, primary schools always remained in crisis, and majority of students can not complete this five years education, due to countless factors like environment, role of parents, behaviour of teachers, interest of students impact of feaudalism etc. Surrounding is strict and harsh low numbers of educated persons are there, so students do not get any motivation and inspiration from society because most of the people are blue collar workers in rural areas,innocent and newly born boys have been sending to meadows to herds goats, and gradually these activities getting change into habits and daily routine. Specially majority of teachers are inexperienced, unskilled they have been appointed on the sources and friendship, so such kind of incompetent teachers lead to barbarism and illiteracy, and discouragement and it leads to failure of societies, and such teachers’ attitudes, and what they say, also negatively impacted on students’ motivation to learn. For example, where teachers convey negative or judgemental comments students show a lack of enthusiasm for teaching, this was a contributory factor in demotivating students in Sindh. feudalism in Sindh has adverse effect on education, that is the only reason of substandard and feeble education system, the fate of Sindh’s people is written by these feudalists, in Pakistan Sindh is the only helpless province where there is no infrastructure for education, now a days Sindh has been suffering from the disease of illiteracy for decades, and day by day getting down. Why our is much back?, Why we Sindhi are back such kinds of questions come in my mind, but problems never solve by just pondering, but sometimes we need to struggle, hard work and persuasion. If we look at current Sindh’s education system we would be like Africa’s nation in the matter of education and development, right now we are much back, even people can give the example of Sindh as illiterate, sluggish and functionless nation. Many schools are under the control of landlords, where they used to keep fertilizers, spray and other things which are used in the field and crop, and many schools are the place of cattle and animals, about before one decade teachers have been appointed through political sources and bribe, Sindh has already suffered a lot like such issues, we Sindhi people unintentionally going to destroy our generation, culture tradition and custom. Education is the only crutch which will support to us to grow, our future is in our hand, no one can right your destiny without your permission, if you want to step in high standard and luxury life we must get education, only through education this in curable diseases (illiteracy) will die. Like other successful nations we be successful nation if use education properly. Success is hidden within us, just we have to search and grasp it. Nations can be develop through, education, education is the only leading and building block of the any society and country. Sindhi people should not depend on mafias, they must work and get education at any cost, the nation can touch progress with the help of education.
