Increasing academic pressure in schools is resulting in a rise in depression and physical problems, such as back and neck pain, among students. In response, Professor Rafia Malah from the Directorate of Inspection and Registration of Private Institutions in Sindh has issued new guidelines to reduce dependence on private tutoring and improve education quality in private schools.
In a letter sent to school heads, she noted that many students in classrooms with over 25 students attend tutoring centers outside of school. This trend is concerning, especially since schools often claim they provide high-quality education. Despite these claims, more students are seeking help elsewhere.
