In this town There are only two government high schools for boys and only one government high school for girls and same is the ratio for Primary and Middle Schools. These schools are really not sufficient to accommodate all the students of this area. Because of this all the government schools are over crowded and students are unable to get the quality education. Actually these schools were opened several decades ago and now this Tehsil has almost tripled its population. But the numbers of schools are same. This town really needs some good new government schools so that a common person can send his kids to school.
