Sindh 7,500 closed schools | KU BSc result
Edu EDOs given seven-day ultimatum to reopen 7,500 schools
Karachi, June 18, 2008: The Sindh government has given
Executive District Officers (EDO) of the education department a
do-or-lose-your-job target to re-open 7,500 closed schools within a week.
Sindh Minister for Education and Literacy Pir Mazharul Haq called a
meeting of EDOs from all districts of Sindh at the Sindh Secretariat on Tuesday,
and questioned their actions in-depth.
The Pakistan Economic Survey (PES)
2007-08, presented on June 10, mentioned that Sindh has the largest share of
non-functioning educational institutions – 58 percent. Haq gave the EDOs the
target of opening 7,500 closed schools within a week. If an EDO fails to reopen
a school in his area, he or she will be sacked.
The minister's public
relations officer, Parviz Narejo, said that other important
decisions were also made at the meeting, including the decision to end postings
to the education department on a pay and scale (OPS) basis within the next three
days, the decision to send all officers back to their original posts and the
decision to have the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) decide new
promotions every month.
It was also decided that the administrative and
academic aspects of the education department will be separated. A committee will
be constituted to conduct a survey within the department to see which field of
the two fields each teacher is interested in.
The EDOs were also ordered
to make reports on historic school buildings with standout architecture. "If
these are not being used by the department, model schools will be opened in
them, through a public and private partnership," said Haq.
The EDOs were
also asked to make sure that teachers do not smoke in the classrooms or on the
school premises. Daily Times

"According to the meeting held, it was decided that Teachers will not smoke in schools. Not only they r smoking but also taking other kinds of drugs in the schools. It was also decided that closed schools will be re opened n buildings will be used 4 the studies but no school is re opened yet.Schools r still used for the buffaloes and other things. The points that r discussed in the meetings are burried there on the venue and no actions or compliance is taken for improvement. It means the meetings r fruiteless n strategies r only in the papers and files. there is no monitoring over the teachers and other tiers. Thanks. "
