NWFP Schools reopen with low attendance
Peshawar: Security fears kept attendance in schools thin as educational institutes in the province reopened on Monday after two weeks' closure.

It was observed that there were no proper security arrangements as only an unarmed watchman usually guarded the main gate. Different leading private schools in the city remained closed.

Attendance in government and private educational institutes remained around 50 per cent, sources in the education department said. The attendance, they added, might continue to be low for a week.

Keeping in view the thin presence of students, most of the teachers avoided taking classes.

"Had I taught a chapter of Urdu or English, most of the students not present would have missed it," said teacher.

When asked about security measures, a teacher on the condition of anonymity said how an unarmed watchman could protect a school.

A student of a college on the Wazir Bagh Road said there were no security personnel at the college gate. Only a watchman was present at the gate, he said.

Representatives of educational institutes have complained that the government has imposed restrictions on charging money from students for security purposes and also eluded itself from the responsibility, putting them in a difficult situation.

The government had asked school managements to hire private guards, buy scanners, metal detectors and Kalashnikovs for watchmen and keep an eye on visitors, especially burqa-clad women. Owners of private institutes said they had no resources to make such arrangements on their own.

Owners and administrators of different educational institutes of the district informed on Monday that they had conveyed to officials concerned that a majority of them were not able to purchase costly scanners, metal detectors and weapons.

It is learnt that the price of cheap scanners is between Rs100,000 to Rs150,000 and after including the cost of two Kalashnikovs per school the security arrangements could cost an institute more than Rs250,000.

Besides, the school owners said, they would also have to pay salaries to trained watchmen because the existing security staff was not capable of handling arms.

It was noticed that only the schools and colleges run by the PAF and the army had made necessary security arrangements.

District Police Officer Mohammad Ayub on Monday visited different government and private educational institutes and checked the security arrangements.

He met heads of schools and assured them that the district police would provide them with support in ensuring security of educational institutes.

He asked the administrators to be vigilant and inform local police immediately about the presence or movement of suspected persons in the surroundings of their institutes. Dawn
