Schools unable to hold extracurricular activities
Karachi: The CDGK education department is still indecisive to organise girls
guide and scouts activities during the upcoming summer vacations because SMC
funds for this purpose are yet to be released, well-informed sources revealed on Wednesday. Sources said that the SMC funds had not been
provided since the last four years, due to which neither sports events nor the
maintenance and renovation work in the school buildings could be started. It
may be recalled here that two years ago Rs 70 million were approved under the
head of SMC funds to reactivate various sports activities. However, despite the
passage of several years, the said amount has not been released causing in the
postponement of all concerned projects of students' interest in the CDGK
schools. Headmasters and sports teachers of various
CDGK schools said that they were unable to initiate girls guide, scout and
sports activities in their respective institutions due to the delay in releasing
of SMC funds approved, amounting to Rs 70m, two years ago. When contacted,
DO education told that Rs 70 million had been approved two years back but the
said amount had not been released so far due to some unspecified reasons.
"However, the amount of SMC funds has been increased and we hope that Rs 230
million will released before the commencement of the summer vacations in CDGK
schools", he added. The official further said the SMC funds worth Rs 230
million have been approved according to the number of students enrolled in the
CDGK schools at the rate of Rs 210 per student. He added that the EDO education
had assured the school heads that SMC funds would soon be released. He said that
education department was making all out efforts to get Rs 230 million released
before the start of summer vacations. Sources in the education department
said that City Nazim Mustafa Kamal had approved the summary that would allow the
use of School Management Committees (SMC) fund in co-curricular activities such
as girls guide, scouts and sports competitions. It may be mentioned here
that World Bank, in its recommendation about good governance and reforms in the
Sindh education system, had stressed the proper use of SMC funds. The Nation
