Teachers block road to protest non-payment of salaries
Karachi: A human chain consisting of teachers, schoolchildren and young boys staged a sit-in
protest on the main road across the Civic Centre on Thursday, blocking traffic
for 20 minutes until the police finally dispersed them. The protesters,
who belonged to Taiser Town, demanded the payment of their salaries, and
reopening of schools which they claimed had been dysfunctional for 15
months. Around 11 schools of the Lyari Expressway Resettlement Project
(LERP) have closed down. Protesters claimed that around 7,000 students were
affected. Residents, who lived near the Lyari riverbed, were shifted to
Taiser Town when the Lyari Expressway was constructed. The stakeholders were
promised several facilities, including quality education. One veiled
teacher said that schools opened temporarily but then closed in March again due
to a shortage of funds. "We have been teaching without salaries for 15
months. We are doing the government a favour by working without our pay. It is
high time," said one teacher who was worried about her household bills. A
boy said that since children had been without schools for almost a year, drug
abuse in the locality had increased manifold.

Govt endeavouring to reopen 400 schools: secy
Karachi: The education department is endeavouring to increase enrolment of girl students by
reopening 400 schools for girls through the Rural Support Programme in which
12,000 female students will continue their education. This was stated by
Secretary Education Muhammad Siddique Memon at a walk at the Quaid-e-Azam's
mausoleum organised by the education department on the occasion of International
Literacy Day on Thursday. The theme of International Literacy Day is
"Literacy and Peace" which make people independent, ensure their participation
in social system and restore peace as well as the role of literacy in the
process of development because literacy makes people confident. Literacy
is essential for eradication of poverty, curbing population growth, achieving
gender equity and ensuring sustainable development, peace and democracy. The
literate people were better geared to meet pressing development challenges, he
further said. The 1973 Constitution also had clearly described the
importance of education and responsibilities of the state as it said that "free
and compulsory education up to the secondary level is the constitutional
obligation of the state (Article-37/B)," he said. The Provincial Plan of
Action 2003 on Education for All (EFA) had been prepared in the wake of
challenges being faced by the Sindh government in achieving the goals set by the
Jometin Conference of 1990 and subsequently revised in the Dakkar conference of
2000, Memon said. Since the people's government came to power, some
serious efforts were made by the education and literacy department to achieve
the targets before the specified time, he said. Meanwhile, the EFA units
were established in all the 23 districts in the years 2008-09 as the first step
towards achieving progress, he said. According to the education
secretary, an awareness campaign was initiated to educate the people about the
dangers of illiteracy. The news
