18 Karachi colleges to 'go all English' from April
Karachi, Jan 05, 2008: The medium of instruction at 18 State-run colleges in Karachi
will be English with effect from the new academic session which starts from
April 1, the provincial education department has announced.
The medium of
instruction at all government colleges in Karachi has been Urdu for the past 20
years.
In order to bring students at these colleges at par with those at
private institutions, however, the Sindh education department has decided that
in the initial phase, 18 government colleges, including nine girls' colleges,
and an equal number of boys' colleges, will now start imparting education in
English.
Other State-run colleges in the city will follow suit if the
trial at these 18 institutions is successful.
"The standard of education
in Pakistan is low, when compared to institutions internationally," the Sindh
education minister said, adding that the basic reason for this is Urdu as the
medium of instruction at colleges in Pakistan. "To compete with the world, we
have to introduce a language that is internationally recognised." There are 119
government colleges and 33 higher secondary schools in Karachi.
Colleges
that will convert to English are;
Girls Colleges
i) PECHS Government
Girls College
ii) St Lawrence Girls College
iii) Government Girls
College, Gizri
iv) Government College for Women,
Shahrah-e-Liaquat
v) Government Degree Science and Commerce College,
