Karachi schools colleges reopening after eid
Karachi educational institutions reopened with thin attendance
Karachi, Sep 25: All government and private educational institutions
in the city reopened on Thursday after the Eid holidays. However,
attendance was quite thin as most students, as well as teachers, did
not turn up. Some private schools observing two weekly holidays are to reopen on Monday.
Meanwhile, the first-year classes at government colleges could not
start on Thursday as the process of placing fresh matriculates in
appropriate colleges could not be completed in as many as 24 days since
the commencement of the current academic session. Sources in
the provincial education department's Centralised Admission Policy
(CAP) committee attributed the delay to the late issuance of marks
sheets by the Board of Secondary Education Karachi (BIEK).
Voicing their concern over the inordinate delay, a number of government
college professors and teachers pointed out that since the current
academic year had already been delayed by almost a month, neither
teachers would be able to cover the entire course nor would the
students be able to comprehend the course. "The first-year
students of government colleges already lag behind their counterparts
in other cities where classes had begun on Aug 15," they said.

Classes in Thatta college suspended
Thatta: Some 1,800 students of Government Boys Degree College,
Thatta, are suffering due to suspension of academic activities since
demolition of their college building four months ago. Soon
after the demolition began, makeshift arrangements for classes were
made in the commerce block of the college but they proved futile as the
students found it difficult to concentrate on studies amid dust arising
from the under-demolition building. Pakistan People's Party
MPA Humera Alwani, who recently visited the site along with parents of
the students and members of civil society, was told by college
principal Professor Wazir Ali Jakhar that the construction of the
college building was stopped after the contractors took away
construction material obtained from the demolished building, including
some 30,000kg of iron, gates and windows. The college staff
and students informed the education authorities about the matter in a letter but to no avail.
The MPA was told that the construction of a small part of the building
was going on but very slowly and that too not as per specifications.
The science block, four laboratories, two classrooms, staff room,
principal office and library reception have been demolished and the
playground is filled with debris hence students have no option but to
stay at home. The parents of the students requested
the MPA to make efforts to ensure speedy completion of the building. Dawn
