However, in reality, either the buildings don&#8217;t exist, or are repurposed. Meanwhile, teachers do not come to work despite withdrawing a salary, hence no students are being educated.<\/p>\n<p>This problem exists in rural areas where the low literacy rate prevents people from protesting against this crime. People are unaware of who to reach out to for help. Sometimes they are unaware a school is even being paid for with taxpayers&#8217; money in their area.<\/p>\n<p>People also talked about the need for long-term solutions to uplift Sindh&#8217;s rural areas.
