(Dunya News) – Sindh Education Foundation has given a deadline to the administration of an NGO school operating on the streets of Karachi, which is working to teach underprivileged children.

The street school has been notified by the Foundation to shut down.

In their defence, the street school’s founder Syeda Anfas Ali Shah Zaidi fired back with a press conference in which Zaidi accused Naheed Durrani, Managing Director of SEF of threatening her.

Zaidi in the press conference called upon the Chief Minister of Sindh to take strict action against those who are misusing their position.

On the other hand, Sindh Education Foundation has stated that their aim is to integrate these children into a formal school system and has no motives to end the footpath schools.

The Education Foundation further stated that their goal is to give street children better educational environment and to cater to their other developmental needs.
