Committee of lawmakers to decide future of FBISE
Islamabad, Feb 10: Capital Administration and Development Division (CADD)
Secretary Imtiaz Inayat Illahi on Thursday said that a high-powered
committee of legislators will decide about giving the administrative
control of Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE)
to CADD or retaining its existing status, in its upcoming meeting. "The
proposal to give its control to CADD is under discussion of a
high-powered committee, which will decide whether FBISE will continue
working under the Ministry of Professional and Technical Training
(P&TT) or if it will go to CADD," he said while talking to APP. The
process of shifting control of departments under one or other authority
is a process which is mandatory after devolution under 18th Amendment
of the Constitution and the committee will come up with some decision
after consulting all the stakeholders, Imtiaz said. After the
devolution process, FBISE was supposed to stay under CADD but it was
transferred to the Ministry of Professional and Technical Training. The
departments which were to stay under CADD included FBISE, National
Education Assessment System (NEAS), Academy of Education and Planning
Management (AEPM), National Book Foundation (NBF) and National Education
Foundation (NEF). Meanwhile, FBISE Chairperson Dr Shaheen Khan
said the "giving control of FBISE to CADD is just a rumour and nothing
has been decided and conveyed to us so far". "If there is some proposal to shift its control to CADD, it will be a wrong step," she said. Shaheen
Khan said that FBISE is an international level board and how its
control can be given to CADD, which is supposed to look after the
affairs of Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT).

Over 1,500 students sent on forced leave
Attock: Over 1,500 students of government boys and girls high schools in Sheenbagh village
of Attock tehsil were sent on two-week forced leave to accommodate
middle and primary standard exam candidates as both the institutions had
been declared examination centres. The sources privy to the development said the administrations of both the schools took the decision due to lack of class rooms. They
said the examinations would continue till Feb 12 and the students had
to suffer at this critical juncture of the academic year as their annual
examinations would start in March. This illogical decision has
created unrest among the parents and the students because they would
remain away from studies and would suffer a lot, the sources maintained. Executive
District Officer (EDO) Education Dr Umar Farooq said he was aware of
the decision taken by school. However, he could not justify the loss
the students had to suffer in the wake of the decision. Dawn
