The existing public sector education especially tertiary education throughout Sindh in general and District Jamshoro in particular is not up to mark and their degrees do not have a good reputation and recognition within competing organizations and market. The teaching learning process is not learner-centered and learner-friendly. The present study aims at finding out effectiveness of tertiary education i.e. masters and bachelors degrees at District Jamshoro focusing especially the Sindh University. For this mixed research the researcher purposively selected the postgraduate and graduate trainees of Benazir Bhutto Shaheed Youth Development Program (BBSYDP, Education Department) as sample because they not only got their masters or bachelors degrees from District Jamshoro especially from various departments of Sindh University, but after getting BBSYDP’s training they were also in better position to critically evaluate the pedagogy at their respective departments or institutions prevailing during their academic tenure. For this purpose the phenomenon was studied at purposively selected sample through questionnaires and focus group discussions. The findings revealed a sorry-state of existing teaching learning situation at tertiary level at Sindh University Jamshoro and even total failure at public sector college level in District Jamshoro. The researcher suggested measures for saving tertiary education from total collapse.
