The Sindh Textbook Board (STB) has announced that students from 9th grade to intermediate levels will receive free tablets. This decision aims to address delays and shortages in textbook distribution and ensure that students’ education proceeds without interruptions.
The announcement was made during a ceremony at the Sindh Textbook Board’s warehouse in Karachi, attended by the Chairman of the Sindh Textbook Board, Abdul Aleem Lashari. In his address to the media, Lashari explained that the distribution of tablets is intended to prevent any disruptions in students’ studies due to delays or shortages in textbooks.
“To ensure that students’ learning is not hindered by textbook delays, we will be distributing free tablets to students from 9th grade to intermediate levels,” Lashari stated. He elaborated that the distribution would occur in phases, starting with higher-grade students and later extending to other classes. The initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize the education system and eventually transition the Sindh Textbook Board to a paperless model.
