Private schools fail to impart quality education
ISLAMABAD, Jan 12(Daily Times): Except for a few private educational institutions, a
majority of private schools are imparting poor quality education to children in
Rawalpindi.
Private schools are operating in every nook and cranny of
the city and many businessmen have started looking at the education sector as a
profitable field. In addition to demanding hefty fees, private schools have
adopted a new way of collecting money from children by making it compulsory for
students to purchase books from school bookshops. The ever increasing population
is a major contributing factor in the rapid growth of private schools.
Complaints regarding high fees, inefficient teaching faculties,
substandard education and poor playground facilities for students are
increasing. Many private schools in Rawalpindi are operating in three to four
room buildings, especially in remote areas. On the other hand, no strict
admission criteria are observed by these schools and anyone who can afford to
pay hefty fees can get his or her child admitted at any stage throughout the
academic year, said Akhtar Hussain, a government employee. Parents and students
demanded that the Punjab chief minister who started the 'Para Likha Punjab'
project take action against private schools and renovate and reconstruct
government schools in Pindi.
