KARACHI: Sindh Minister for Education Nasir Hussain Shah has expressed that the success of children from Thar in the Medical and Dental College Admission Test (MD CAT) should not come as a surprise.
Speaking to the media at the Sindh Assembly on September 30, 2026, Shah emphasized the capabilities of students from the region.
Shah remarked that the achievements of Thar’s children in the MD CAT reflect their hard work and the potential that exists in underprivileged areas.
He stated, “If children from Thar have succeeded in this competitive examination, it is a testament to their dedication and the support they have received.”
His comments come amid ongoing discussions about educational disparities in Pakistan.
This success story is significant as it highlights the potential of students from marginalized regions, challenging stereotypes and encouraging investment in education across the country.
It also raises questions about the accessibility of quality education and resources in rural areas, which can lead to improved outcomes for students.
Looking ahead, the Sindh government plans to enhance educational facilities in Thar and other underdeveloped regions to ensure that such successes are not isolated incidents but part of a broader trend.
Further initiatives are expected to be announced in the coming months to support educational development.
