Sources said that the EFS had signed a five-year school participation agreement under the education voucher scheme with schools in the private sector in Khairpur and Qamber-Shahdadpur to accommodate street children in their schools, with the EFS bearing the expenses of tuition fees and other related items. However, the scheme was officially terminated all of a sudden, putting the future of thousands of street children in jeopardy.
Sources said that some private school owners have been running from pillar to post to find out why the scheme was terminated and what is to become of all the street children who had been accommodated in schools under the scheme, but their queries have **t been answered by the people concerned so far.
