FATA scholarships | Schools mushrooming in Peshawar
18 scholarships awarded to FATA students
Peshawar, June 13, 2008: The Institute of Management
Sciences (IMSciences) Peshawar has awarded 18 scholarships to the Federally
Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) students of session 2007 under the Khushhali
Bank Scholarships Programme.
Head of human resources Khushhali Bank Syed
Zahid Raza distributed the fully funded scholarship certificates among five
undergraduate and 13 graduate students, said a statement issued here on
Thursday.
Director IMSciences Nasir Ali Khan said on the occasion that
the last year around 30 FATA students were awarded the Khushhali Bank
Scholarships with the cooperation of United States Agency for International
Development (USAID).
He said that the institute apart from external
scholarships from donor agencies is also spending a huge amount of money from
its own resources, as around 600 students received financial assistance under
different scholarship programmes, which makes around 34 per cent of total
students enrolled at the institution. Daily Times

Committee to appoint VC for NWFP Varsity
Peshawar: The search committee for appointment of vice-chancellors of public
sector universities has short-listed about nine applicants and called them for
panel discussion today (Friday) for the office of the VC of the newly
established Islamia College University (ICU).
Interestingly none of the
serving professors of the Islamia College Peshawar, including the incumbent
principal, Dr Rasheed Farooqui, was called for the panel interview. The position
was formally advertised in the national dailies a few months back.
The
advertisement had specified criteria for the position that the applicant must be
a PhD degree holder and a professor as per the criteria of the Higher Education
Commission. However, it was made clear in the advertisement that the governor
could appoint anyone other than the applicants. About 50people applied for the
post.
A meeting of the search committee that is headed by the Chief
Secretary NWFP, Sahibzada Riaz Noor, held the other day to scrutinise the
applicants and call the short-listed candidates for a panel interview, sources
said.
The sources informed that those called for interview,
included former vice-chancellor Gomal University and incumbent director VC
Secretariat University of Peshawar, Ajmal Khan,
former principal Islamia
College Peshawar and associate professor Nisar Muhammad Nisar, former
vice-chancellor, Malakand University Jandar Shah, Muhammad Iqbal, Naeemur
Rahman, Qibla Ayaz, Nazir Khattak, Hameedullah Marwat and Sakhawat.
About 15 applicants - all PhD and eight full professors - from Islamia
College had also applied for the slot, but none of them was short-listed, which
created unrest among the faculty members of the college.
Some senior
officials expressed reservations over most of the short-listed candidates
particularly Ajmal, Nisar and Jandar Shah. A faculty member of the University of
Peshawar, on the condition of anonymity, said that Ajmal Khan was not
even meeting the basic criteria for the position.
Ajmal Khan is neither
a PhD nor a professor and how could he be eligible for the slot, he asked.
However, another senior professor of the university opined that the PhD and
professorship was not a criterion, but a guideline set by the HEC for the office
of the vice-chancellor.
He said it was the total discretion of the
governor as to whomever he wants, could be appointed as vice-chancellor. He
added that the search committee, too, had no legal status as it was formed only
to assist the governor (chancellor) of the public sector universities for
appointment of vice-chancellor.
Nisar Muhammad Nisar, a senior faculty
member, who requested anonymity, said that his PhD degree was not recognised by
HEC and he got his retirement as an associate professor, while Jandar Shah, who
remained vice-chancellor of Malakand University for seven long years, faced
serious allegations of favouritism and nepotism in recruitments, financial
embezzlement in different projects during his stint as vice
chancellor.
Some professors criticised the search committee, saying that
it has become a mafia. They said the appointments of vice-chancellors were made
on political basis and the search committee was being used as a
cover-up.
A professor remarked that at least men like the former Chief
Secretary and Chairman Provincial Public Service Commission, Abdullah, who is
known for his honesty, should quit the so-called committee. The News

Illegal driving schools mushrooming in Peshawar
Peshawar: Around 30-40 illegal driving schools have been operating in the provincial metropolis. Such
institutions are producing drivers without proper driving education and
training.
A traffic police official said that there are only four registered driving schools in Peshawar including
Sarhad Motor Driving School, New Sarhad Motor Driving School, Atif Motor Driving
School and Government Motor Driving School, Charsadda Road.
"During
General Ziaul Haq's rule, a directive was issued which said that all those
applying for driving licence should produce a training certificate from a
registered driving school, but it is not clear what happened to that directive,"
he said.
He said that nowadays traffic police issue driving license to
all no matter their driving certificates are issued by registered or
unregistered institutions.
He said that according to Section 23 of the
Motor Vehicle Rules, all the driving schools should be registered with traffic
police and should be properly equipped and have trained trainers.
"These
schools should have to deliver comprehensive lectures on traffic signs and
rules," he said.
Atif of Atif Driving School at University Road said that driving schools are registered with the traffic police at
Central Police Office (CPO). They need to have vehicles, qualified trainers and
other facilities.
He said that a trainer must have experience of seven
years before he imparts training to other drivers or experience certificate from
some organisation. He said that unregistered driving schools are creating
problems for them as they charge less than the registered schools.
Principal Government Motor Driving School, Charsadda Road Ayaz Khan said
that their school was set up on 80 kanals of land with a model room while a
number of vehicles including cars, pick-ups and buses were available there. They
took tests from the aspiring drivers during their training.
"During the
first week, we train them about the basics and in the second week, in-house
driving practice session starts before the trainee comes on the main roads," he
said.
He said that they charge around Rs 3000-3200 for six-week
comprehensive training and most of their trained people get driving licenses
without any problem.
He said that they train around 1500 people annually
and traffic police also use their facilities thrice a week for taking driving
test of those who apply for driving license.
About the unregistered
driving schools, he said that most of these were operating in single room and
had only one vehicle. They train people on main roads and issue them certificate
within 15 days.
"People trained by these unregistered schools are main
cause of growing traffic mishaps as they issue certificates for money without
imparting proper training about driving skills and traffic rules and
regulations," he added. Daily Times
