Admission in morning shift difficult task
Islamabad: Admission in morning shift in model colleges being run under the Federal
Directorate of Education has become unnerving for majority of the
parents especially during the start of new academic session this year. The
decision to abolish evening shifts from the model colleges by the
previous government was supposed to be implemented from the academic
session in the year 2011 to bring uniformity in the provision of
academic facilities to the students. However, the relevant
department of FDE could not implement the decision, ignoring the
sufferings of the parents who are bound to educate their children in
these colleges in the evening shifts, spoiling their routine life and
engagements. There is no willingness on the part of
principals to implement the decision of abolishment of the evening
shift.Sajid Rehman, a parent, said, "I have requested the FDE
authorities for several times to change the shift of my child from
evening to morning at one of the leading model colleges due to his weak
eye sight." "We got permission letter from FDE after
submitting an application citing the required reasons and fulfilling the
terms and conditions and submitted to the principal of the respective
college but he rigidly refused to listen anything," he said. Shaheen
Raza, another parent, said the directorate has a policy that if the
other child is studying at any of its college in morning shift then the
shift can be changed from evening to morning while the shift can also be
changed citing some medical reason. "We fulfilled all the terms and
conditions and after day-long efforts got nothing." She
said once the parents admit their children in the model colleges and
then they fell prey to the stubborn attitude and favouritism of the
principals who never bother to redress their grievances. The
principals only accommodate the children in the morning shifts on
favouritism basis, she observed.Such discriminations create
psychological impact on the minds of the students who feel themselves
deprived in front of students studying in morning shifts, she said. The
officials of FDE are of the view that it was the decision of the
government to abolish evening shifts under its effort to materialise the
dream of unified education system in the federal capital but no
strategy has been devised so far to get it implemented. There
is no willingness on the part of authorities in the directorate or
Ministry of Capital Administration and Development (CAD) to abolish
evening shift or ensure a unified education system in Islamabad Capital
Territory (ICT), the officials said. The parents visit FDE
and model colleges on daily basis for changing the shift of their
children from evening to morning but the institutes lack capacity to
adjust students in morning shifts, they added. The news

University professor booked in murder case
Islamabad: The police have registered a case
against a professor of a private university and his accomplices for
allegedly killing a student in the city four days back.
Malik Shahwaz Amir, an MBA student at the private university, was
found dead in the wooded area of I-8/2 with a bullet injury to his
temple on April 8.
The police at that time had said the student had committed suicide after his girlfriend left him.
However, the police could not find the weapon at the spot which made
the incident suspicious. Besides, the deceased was a resident of F-10/4
and was found dead at I-8/2.
An autopsy conducted on the body showed that he had died after being shot from a close range, sources said.
Malik Amir Iqbal, the father of the deceased, in his complaint to the
police alleged that a professor along with others was behind the murder
of his son.
The father of the student said the professor along
with others had abducted his son on April 8 when he was going to the
university at 2:30pm.
They murdered my son and tried to show it as a suicide, he added.
He said the professor was 'jealous' of his son. He, however, was
reluctant to talk about the motive behind the killing. "The professor
used to threaten my son," he added.
In reply to a question, he expressed ignorance about the love affairs his son was involved in.
However, the police said the deceased was involved in a girl studding
at the same university who later left him. Later, the professor got
involved in the girl.
When the deceased tried to rebuild relation with the girl, the
professor threatened him to keep away from the girl, the police said. Dawn
