Syed Ali Raza Shah Chairman Board of Governors Roshan Tara School Ghotki
Education is not mere accumulation of facts; it is preparation of life itself. Education is knowledge imbued with wisdom and ethics. It develops the personality of the students, moulds their character and develops mental skills to help them cope with problems and challenges of the complex world of today. One of the most significant character traits that need to be instilled in our youth during their education is a finely ingrained attitude of service- before-self. The aim is to make them successful not only in life, but also conscious of their duties and responsibilities towards their fellow citizens. It is with this vision that the Roshan Tara Model Higher Secondary School Ghotki was established in 1992 in small four-rooms building at Qadirpur Road Ghotki, a chain of 23 schools across the province under the umbrella of Sindh Graduates Association over the last four decades, offering quality education from Pre-Primary to Higher Secondary levels. The Roshan Tara Model Higher Secondary School Ghotki exemplify the fact that sky is not the limit in the pursuit of excellence. The aim of our schools is to promote a system of integral education in a congenial child-friendly environment that emphasises the unity of all knowledge, synthesises compassion and sciences anI am I recognises the fact that each child is unique. We believe that education should enable they students to soar high - morally, socially and spiritually. We believe that our students need to learn that the secret of success and satisfaction lies in discovering one's own strengths as well as limitations. There is, therefore, every reason to believe that place a renewed emphasis on the humanistic dimensions of education, enabthe three g each of the person to grasp and appreciate the individuality of others, and to discover one's owner, self through an inner journey whose milestones are knowledge, introspection and humility. This should guide educational thinking in conjunction with other holistic objectives. At Roshan Tara Schools, priority is also given to the teaching of critical thinking abilities in such as reasoning and problem solving, to help our students develop the ability to reach sound conclusions based on observation and information. Our school curricula also allow our teachers the flexibility to adopt innovative methods to stimulate interest and attention among the students and develop in them an appreciation for the values of the past, the excitement of the present and the challenges of the future. You would find a wealth of learning opportunities at Roshan Tara Model Higher Secondary School Ghotki that would serve as an essential stepping stone to a fulfilling life and career.
Incepted in August 1992, Roshan Tara Model Higher Secondary School, Ghotki, is a project of Sindh Graduates’ Association. It is English Medium Educational Institute, with compulsory Sindhi from K-G classes. Initially, the school was operative in a small rented building of four rooms with two teachers and 80 students at Mohalla Odharwali, near Qadirpur road, Ghotki. On Ist May, 1995, the school was shifted to itscurrent own building in Kacha Sachal-Block on Northern Side with 10 classrooms on a plot of 01 Acre Land granted by the then Chief Minister Sindh, Syed Abdullah Shah (late). In 1998 the construction of Two Storey RCC structured Bhitai Block began and was completed within two years of short time period. The Kacha Sami-Block with 06 classrooms on Sothern Side was constructed in 2006 to meet increasing number of students. In order to meet further accommodation 06 more classrooms were constructed as extension of Kacha Sami-Block. After that the Kacha Sachal Block was replaced by RCC structured three Storey Building and Kacha Sami Block demolished and being replaced by Two Storey beautiful RCC Building.

For about three decades, educational standard in Sindh particularly, the Rural areas, has been on continued decline. Institutes from primary to secondary and from secondary to higher secondary have lost their prestige and have more or less become a mere formality. Political interference and petty interests of individuals have made the situation bleak. The diseasestemmed out of inefficiency, indifference and self-seeking; is getting incurable day by day. Education, which is meant for talent development, knowledge dissemination and character-building of scholars, lost its significance and institutes kept on producing uncouth youth, having degrees in hands but lacking qualities of character and leadership. Therefore, Sindhi society fell into quagmire of political and socio-economic turmoil. Realizing the lamentable state of educational affairs in Sindh, Sindh Graduates’ Association stepped into the arena of education and set in a chain of 22 Roshan Tara Schools and one in Gadap, Public School Gadap, Karachi managed by Sindh Graduates Association(SGA) through a board of Governors, it was established by the Government of Sindh especially for the rural areas of Sindhwith sole purpose of quality education in healthy environment. Roshan Tara Model Higher Secondary School, Ghotki, is one of such most prestigious schools of Sindh Graduates’ Association (SGA).
