No space in government colleges!
Students seeking admissions find no space in govt colleges
Rawalpindi, Aug 18: Hundreds of students who have recently cleared their Secondary School Certificate (SSC)
examinations are facing hardships in getting admission in government colleges
owing to the shortage of educational institutions in Rawalpindi. The
students are finding hard to join colleges in science, engineering and humanity
in the government colleges because of limited number of seats in the first and
second shifts. Compared to 18 women colleges, the number of government degree
colleges is only four in the entire Rawalpindi City and the Cantonment
area. Admission forms have been disbursed in thousands among the students
despite having limited number of seats in every college. The number of passing
candidates is much higher than the seats in the colleges. Helpless students were
seen shuttling between different colleges to seek admission. After
achieving negative response from the government colleges, the affected students
are approaching the private colleges for seeking admissions. On the other hand,
the private colleges taking advantage of the situation are claiming exorbitant
fees from the students for admission in their institutions. The elected
representatives of the parliament both in the past and present government of
Punjab though made big slogans of promoting education in Rawalpindi by building
and opening up more colleges for both genders have yet failed in implementing
their pledges. PML-N MNA Malik Shakil Awan when contacted said that he is fully aware of the issue. However, on my demand, the Punjab
government has approved a project including construction of Shahbaz Sharif
Degree College for Boys, which would be constructed either in Khayaban-e-Sir
Syed or Asghar Mall at an estimated cost of Rs60 million. "We are
working on the process of selection of site in these two areas," he said adding
by the end of next fiscal year this institution would be completed and the
problem of admission would minimize to some extent. The government has started
work on construction of degree college for boys in Dhoke Syedan, which is under
way. Executive director for education (EDO) told that only 20 per cent
work on degree college for boys in Dhoke Syedan is left. "As soon as the funds
for this incomplete phase is released work would be done in no time. We were
planning to inaugurate the college in Dhoke Syedan earlier in June this year,
but due to funds problem work stopped," he added.
