LARKANA: A brave Primary School Teacher (PST), Mujeeb Soomro, who lost his both legs due to diabetic foot, is performing his government duties perfectly and regularly at Government Boys Primary School in village Pir Bux Brohi, Taluka Dokri. He told a media team at his school on Monday that about 100 little students were enrolled in the school where three teachers had been posted to work but two of them had never seen the doors of the school. He said he was suffering from chronic diabetes since last five years, adding after facing an injury to both of his legs, doctors had advised him that his both legs would be amputated from the knee to stop escalate of the disease. He and his relatives had no other choice but to abide by the doctors advise, he added.
He said he did not even loose his hope in life and after getting proper treatment continued discharging his legal at the school because future of the students would have been at stake. He said: “He is a role model for those ghost teachers who are well but refrain from performing their government duties for which they should be ashamed of as they are drawing thousands of taxpayers salaries monthly without doing anything.”
He said that he gets full satisfaction when he reaches school daily on time and leaves on schedule. He said despite pressure of large number of students’ studies, he never felt trouble to teach all the students alike from class I to V because our future depends on these little kids. Such courageous teachers should not only be encouraged by the Education and Literacy Department of Sindh but they should also be rewarded and those who are habitual absconders must be taken to task without loss of further time.
