Teachers oppose shifting of college from Mardan
Peshawar: The Sarhad College Teachers Association (SCTA) has opposed shifting of Government Postgraduate College from Mardan to Shankar, demanding the government to withdraw the decision otherwise they would launch a protest drive and move court.

The reservations were voiced at a meeting of SCTA presided over by its Central General Secretary Professor Mohammad Ikram Khan at the Government Postgraduate College Mardan on Monday. The officials of the administration, professors and other staff of the institution also attended the meeting.

The participants welcomed the establishment of Abdul Wali Khan University, saying it would promote education in the area. However, they said the Postgraduate College Mardan, established in 1952, was preferred for the setting up of university and after long discussion it was decided that some portion of the college would be given temporarily to the university.

The participants said that shifting the college to the newly built Shankar College building in rural Mardan would be a negation of the promises made by Vice-Chancellor of Abdul Wali Khan University Dr Ihsan Ali. They said it would be tantamount to usurping the assets and status of the college.

The participants of the meeting said around 3,425 students of low-income families, mainly from urban Mardan, were studying in the college and shifting of the college to Shankar would increase transport problems. They said the building of the Shankar College could hardly house 700 students. They demanded that instead of shifting the college, the university should be established in Shankar. The News
