The Sindh Education Department has mandated that schools across the province collect free textbooks from students after their annual examinations, as reported by multiple sources including ProPakistani and TechJuice. This initiative is designed to improve inventory management and ensure the availability of textbooks for future academic sessions. According to a spokesperson for the education department, 'the return of textbooks will be officially recorded on students’ result cards,' and schools are required to maintain a comprehensive register of books issued and returned. The collected textbooks are to be stored in school book banks, with district education officers submitting updated stock records to regional directors. This policy applies to all students from primary to higher secondary levels, highlighting the department's commitment to resource management and educational equity (ProPakistani, TechJuice, minutemirror).
