The Sindh School Education and Literacy Department has approved three religious books for Hindu students in public schools for the 2026–27 academic year.
This step is meant to make education more inclusive and give students subjects that match their beliefs.
Books for Grades 3 to 5
According to the official notice:
- These books will be taught to Hindu students in Classes 3 to 5
- Distribution will be handled by the Sindh Textbook Board
This will help students get the right study material.
Support from Welfare Organization
Because of limited funds:
- A welfare group, Prem Sagar Sanstha Karachi, has been allowed to publish the books
- The group will work with authorities for printing and distribution
This is a temporary solution to manage the current situation.
Budget Situation and Future Plan
Officials said:
- The Sindh Textbook Board does not currently have enough funds
- Budget planning will be reviewed next year
This shows there is a plan to continue the project in the future.
Why This Is Important
This decision matters because it:
- Promotes inclusiveness in education
- Gives students subjects that fit their beliefs
- Supports equal learning opportunities for minority students
Final Words
Providing religious books for Hindu students is a positive step toward a more inclusive education system in Sindh.
If implemented properly, this effort can help many students access the right learning material and feel more included in the system.
