SPLA condemns delay in recruitment of teachers
KARACHI, May 3(Daily Times): The Sindh Professors and
Lecturers Association (SPLA) has condemned the delay in hiring teaching and
non-teaching staff while students across Sindh suffer due to lack of
teachers.
In a meeting, chaired by Prof. Liaquat Aziz and attended by
Prof. Manzoor Hussain Chishti, Prof. Agha Khalid and members of different
colleges, participants criticized the policies of the government. They pointed
out that around 15,000 places still remained vacant, which was discouraging and
was spreading despondency among students, as they had to appear in exams without
completing their syllabuses. They claimed that 24 colleges, including 11
colleges in Karachi, were still running without a proper faculty because
teachers hired on ad hoc basis had been fired.
In a statement issued by
the SPLA, they appealed to the Sindh governor and chief minister to approve the
hiring of teachers, at least for the 24 vacancies. They criticized the Sindh
Education Minister Dr Hamida Khuhro and Secretary Education Sabhago Khan Jatoi
over their lethargic attitude and claimed that both of them were busy leveling
accusations on teachers' groups rather than working in the better interest of
the students.
