The Sindh Children's Parliament, which convened in Hyderabad, is dissatisfied with the province's educational system because it believes that the budget allotted is insufficient and that it is not being used.

A project of the Thar Education Alliance, the Children's Parliament was started with the help of Unicef and the Reform Support Unit Sindh to encourage educational rights and get out-of-school children back in Sindh. Children participated in this program from 30 districts in Sindh.

Syeda Rida Batool Kazmi, the chief minister of the parliament; Ashok Kumar, the leader of the opposition; and five other ministers, in addition to MPs from other districts, spoke during the session, which was chaired by Speaker Muskan Mallah.

Mayor Kashif Ali Shoro attended the meeting at the Municipal Committee Hall in Qasimabad, which was also addressed by Ali Usman, Partab Shivani, Qurat Madasir, Priyanka, and Senior Program Officer of the Reform Support Unit Sindh Mujeeb Khathri of the Sindh Education Foundation.

Kazmi expressed concern over the province's education funding being used insufficiently. She recommended involving the children in the process of creating the budget.

She claimed that when visiting various Sindh districts, the parliament discovered the deplorable condition of the schools.

In order to encourage girls and their parents to send their daughters to school, Kazmi also emphasized the importance of creating a safe atmosphere for them.

Siraj Ali, Zaheer Brohi, and Zara Mujeeb, the provincial children's ministers, stated that the government should address the quality of education, which calls for a specific policy and its execution. They also expressed concern about the dearth of playgrounds and science labs in schools, as well as the lack of extracurricular activities available to girls.

Resolutions were voted on during the parliament session calling for action to alleviate the textbook deficit, build computer and science laboratories in high schools, and increase Sindh's education budget. They also demanded an ongoing teacher training program, safety precautions for the schools, and an electrical supply.
