'29,035 schools in Sindh without power'
Karachi: Sindh Education Minister Pir Mazhar-ul Haq has disclosed that
29,035 schools in the province are still functioning without electricity though
Rs2.3 billion were allocated to district governments in the outgoing financial
year for providing missing facilities to about 30,000 schools.
Of the
total 49,028 schools in the province 7,572 were not functional, while among the
rest 29,035 were running without power and 5,037 without furniture, the minister
said in reply to the questions asked by MPAs Humera Alwani and Dr Muhammad
Rafique Banbhan during the question hour in the assembly session on
Monday.
He said the dilapidated condition of thousands of schools spoke
volumes of corruption and mismanagement in the utilisation of funds. A
high-level inquiry was being carried out into the acts of corruption and
mismanagement of the previous government, he said, adding that if charges of
corruption or inefficiency proved "no one would be spared". He said legal action
would be taken against all the corrupt elements.
The minister explained
that this government had planned to provide all missing facilities to the
schools, including electricity and furniture. In the outgoing fiscal year
(2007-08) Rs2.3billion had been allocated, including Rs100 million funds for
each district, to provide such facilities, he said, adding that a similar amount
would be provided in the financial year 2008-09.
Elaborating the details
of foreign funding provided to improve the education system and its standard
during the period from January 2006 to April 2008, he said the Asian Development
Bank gave Rs397.047 million for the Decentralized Elementary Education Project,
Sindh. The Canadian International Development Agency gave Rs392 million for the
Sindh Elementary Teachers Training Project. The World Food Programme funded in
the form of edible oil for assistance to girls' primary education in Sindh; the
Aga Khan Foundation, USAID and the Royal Netherlands Embassy gave over Rs27.941
million for releasing confidence and creativity as well for early childhood
development; the Toad Sector Development Directorate/Asian Development Bank gave
Rs10.2 million for the road safety education project, US consulate gave more
than Rs1.807 million for the project 'Access to English Language Education For
All'; the Commonwealth Education Fund, Save the Children gave Rs3.305 million;
Unesco provided Rs602,326 for Education for All, Rs1.204 million for Teachers
Training Programme and Rs575,386 for Translation and Reproduction of Education
Booklet; and the Asia Foundation gave Rs4.692 million for literacy, health care,
skill development and early childhood education.
In reply to another
question, he said the Sindh government intended to put a check on the high fees
being charged by private schools in order to improve the overall education
standard. He also said that the government would ensure that all private schools
teach Sindhi language to their students when the schools would reopen after
summer vacation.
Explaining the functions and responsibilities of the
directorate of privately managed institutions, Pir Mazharul Haq said the
directorate was fostering students success by facilitating, monitoring and
evaluating the use of current, proven and effective instructional practices to
ensure that each student acquire knowledge, skills and core values necessary to
achieve personal success and enrich the country. Besides, he said, it's
functioning to create a thriving, dynamic and inspiring educational environment
in the privately managed institutions in the province that produces
self-directed lifelong learners who can achieve full potentials in their
academic, creative, personal, physical, moral and spiritual
development.
He said the directorate was responsible to monitor and
assist about 12,000 private institutions from secondary to bachelor levels to
improve the quality of education, registration and renewal of registration of
private institutions and their inspection through committees constituted for the
purpose.
Replying to another question, he acknowledged that some big and
reputed schools charged very high fee from students and they raised the fee at
their whim. However, he said, only those parents get their wards admitted to
these schools who can afford high fees. Dawn
