Sindhis have 13 AMC-run Sindhi medium schools. Almost 100 teachers are in excess. However, the hitherto thriving educational scenario started a declining trend.

A typical example is Sardarnagar, where the school has 11 teachers whereas there are only 19 students.

The situation of the private schools also is the same. Ten years ago, Lal Darwaja could boast of Sind Modern High School; a Sindhi medium school. But, today it has only 20 students in Class XI and X, without having fresh admissions. The High Secondary section has only 20 students in class IX and X, according to teacher V C Pahilajani.

Mr Sharma attributes the reason for the declining Sindhi educational scenario to the absence of job prospects who complete their studies in Sindhi medium.

The focus on business could be another reason, as many Sindhis think that the attention has to be more on business in order to enable the children to come up in the financial strata.

The persons who can read and write Sindhi at Ahmedabad will be at a premium.
Efforts are to be made to sustain the availability of teachers, though their services could be made use of today.

This year there are only nine applications to the Primary Teacher Certificate (PTC) course in Sindhi medium, wheras 40 could be admitted.

Today, there are ten sindhi medium schools at Ahmedabad. Of these seven are Higher Secondary Schools, which train 350 students each year.
