Sheedi Community in Sindh, Pakistan - Sindhi Association of North ...

3.18.2 EDUCATION
There are two high schools in the village, one is Boy‟s high school and other is
Girl‟s high school. British government in 1875 made the Vernacular School for
the servants, in 1972 Pakistan government made a primary School. There is one
vocational school in the village that was made for the girls of the village. There is
one private school in the village it is called, as Ghazali Public School there is also
a private library whose name is Sachal library where eight hundred books are
available in the library. The literacy ratio in Sheedi community is only 1.5
because they mostly do not want to send their children‟s to School. They send
their boys for the mainh Charaian (Cattle grazing) and the young girls work in the
elite houses, so their children find no way to go to schools.
