Sindh bans school book sale on private school premises across the province. The Education and Literacy Department issued a new notification today. Private school administrations can no longer sell textbooks, copies, or uniforms inside their campuses. Stationery items also fall under this ban. Schools cannot force parents to buy from specific shops or vendors either. The directive aims to reduce financial burden on families.

Schools must now provide a complete list of required books and stationery at the start of the academic year. Parents can then buy from the open market. Competition among vendors will drive prices down. The notification also clarifies an important detail. Requiring notebooks with a school-specific monogram or logo is illegal. Schools cannot use branding as an excuse to force purchases.

Sindh bans school book sale but also targets uniforms and other items. The Directorate of Private Institutions warned of strict action against violators. Heavy fines will apply to rule breakers. Repeated violations may lead to cancellation of school registration. Officials want to improve transparency in education-related expenses. Parents have long complained about inflated prices inside school shops.

Parents and civil society members welcomed the move. They called it a real step toward affordable education. Private schools now need to find other ways to generate revenue. Forcing parents to buy overpriced books and uniforms is no longer an option. The government promises enforcement. Parents should report violations immediately.
