Sindh Education Minister, Nisar Ahmed Khuhro, attended the event as the chief guest.

While speaking to media, after the seminar, Khuhro said that being a teacher is a highly respected profession and that teachers have more of a responsibility at times towards the development of children than parents even.

He said the issue of teachers’ absenteeism is being addressed and that parents should also take the responsibility to inform concerned authorities about the absence of teachers.

  

Khuhro said the government was taking measures to modernize the education system.
