Punjab government colleges poor results
Collective performance of 26 Punjab colleges has been zero percent
Lahore, Sep 15: The Punjab government deserves a pat on the back for pulling up principals of a
number of government colleges for deteriorating educational standards.
Reportedly, the collective performance of 26 colleges this year has been zero
percent. The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the fact that not a
single student from 14 of these colleges could sail through the bachelors'
exams.
This is indeed a poor reflection on the state of education imparted in
these government-run colleges. But still the question here is: Who is to be held
responsible? There is no doubt that the fault lies with the management of these
colleges. However the Punjab government too cannot escape the blame of not
working hard enough to turn them into places of quality education.
There are
a number of factors that contribute to the failure of the system. In the first
place, there is a dearth of qualified teachers. Low salaries and absence of
social security nets for the teachers' community fail to attract those who could
open up minds and train the youth how to think. Most important of all, the
educational milieu so to speak, itself beggars description. While broken
furniture and dilapidated buildings are commonplace, amenities like, labs,
research facilities, libraries are but non-existent.
These colleges likewise
have no idea of preparing a strong human resource base from which the students
could later on get decent jobs or become useful members of society. What is
worse, the political parties step in to claim their share of the nation's youth.
Given their dexterity in luring the students to themselves, the trend of joining
student wings of the national parties has affected a heavy toll on their ability
to attend to studies.
Whereas in private sector, the involvement of political
parties has been curtailed it is a virtual free for all in the public sector.
Chief Minister Mian Shahbaz Sharif's vision of quality education must not
stop short of carrying out reforms in these sick units. Undoubtedly, it is an
uphill task but very much in the realm of possibility. The nation

Children library at IMCB F-8/4 opens
Islamabad: A model library stocked with 6000 books on diverse subjects and children
encyclopaedia opened at Islamabad Model College for Boys (IMCB) F-8/4.
The new library will cater the needs of junior students from class one
to five and help promote reading habits among them from an early age. Principal IMCB F-8/4, Waheed-ud-Din said the recent tremendous progress in
the field of computer technology has shifted the trend of book reading to
internet searching. This has led to a decline in the number of visitor to the
library.
However, it is an established fact that the knowledge acquired
through books is everlasting and the books cannot be replaced by computers at
any stage, he said. It was earnest demand of staff and students of junior
section that they should have a separate library where kids can spend their time
in reading. The library was inaugurated recently by Director Planning and
Development, FDE, Zahoor Ali Awan last month. He was accompanied by the Director
(P&D), Professor Syed Muhammad Waqar Ashraf and Director Model Colleges Dr.
Mujahid Zamir.
The junior library is set up by utilizing college
resources and it has ample space where 35 to 40 students can sit. The place was
renovated and furnished to provide a peaceful environment to the kids for
reading, he informed. The library has its own lady librarian with number of
books mainly of the interest of topics related to junior classes. The
establishment of this library has fulfilled a long standing demand of the junior
lady teachers as most of the female staff in the Junior section were facing
inconvenience in bringing kids to the central library located in the senior
section of the college. The central library is not sufficient to fulfil the
requirements of all the students as it is accommodating students from class six
to intermediate, he said. The news
