Teachers, students boycott classes
Teachers and students at Khatoon-e-Pakistan Government College for Women
boycotted their classes on Tuesday to protest against what they termed an
"unjust induction of a junior teacher as college principal."
The
teachers, who have been observing a peaceful protest against the order of
appointment of a grade-19 teacher from PECHS Girls College for the last ten
days, had resolved on Monday that if the authorities remained unmoved on their
demand of withdrawal of 'controversial' appointment, they will start boycott of
teaching assignments gradually from Tuesday. The Sindh Education Department
authorities were tight-lipped on the issue till Tuesday. One official confided that as the letter of appointment was issued under the directives of
the 'boss' it was hard for officers to take a decision on their own. The News
