Private schools -vs- Cantonment Board Faisal
Karachi: The multi-faceted education system in Pakistan is ruining the learning capabilities of students, said Private School Management Association (PSMA) Chairman Sharafuz Zaman on Wednesday.
"Different authorities have been threatening the private schools system of the city, without realizing that these private schools share more than 60 percent of the burden of education," said Zaman. While addressing a press conference, he informed the media that the Cantonment Board Faisal (CBF) recently issued notices (Letter No. CBF-9/Notice/G.Jauhar/Genl/5055 dated: July 19, 2008) to private schools of Gulistan-e-Jauhar. The schools were told to either to register their buildings as commercial properties with the CBF or face closure, after the recent promulgation of the CBF Building By-Laws, 119 of 2008.
"If the CBF does not withdraw the notices, then the PSMA will be compelled to close all schools within the CBF jurisdiction and all over the city," he said. Sindh Private Schools Management Association Chairman Khalid Shah said that the CBF measures posed a major threat to private school operators and could not be ignored. "We fully support the PSMA and will support them in any matter related to the future of private schools. If the notices are not withdrawn, no school belonging to the private sector will remain open and the CBF will be responsible for the closure," said Shah.
Zaman claimed that the notices at the start of the new academic year was a planned move. "The CBF has cautioned all the schools to stop the use of their buildings within 7 days after the issuance of the notices, stating that the buildings would be confiscated in favor of the CBF if the directives were not followed. Private schools have invested money and time to provide quality education to Pakistani children but these same institutions are shackled down with taxes and notices," said Zaman.
He said that the PSMA has held a meeting with CBF executives who had relatively more flexible attitudes regarding the matter and requested the schools to approach the CBF for registration of their buildings. However, he added that the CBF had sole discretion to accept or refuse any application.
"It is ridiculous that schools that were established 20 years ago, are being issued notices now. The CBF has enforced By-Laws 119 of 2008 without taking the stakeholders into confidence, although, it is already generating huge revenue in taxes," said Zaman.
The PSMA chairman said that all private schools of the city were directly under the authority of the Sindh Education Ministry and are registered with Board of Secondary Education, while many other boards are also conducting exams in the Gulistan-e-Jauhar area. Zaman claimed that the Sindh Education Ministry had no objections over the condition of the school buildings or whether they were residential or commercial.
There are approximately 600 private schools in Gulistan-e-Jauhar alone, with more than 65,000 students. The number of private schools within the jurisdiction of CBF is more than 300 and the CBF collects Rs 7,000 per year from each school, which adds up to Rs 21,00,000. The rate of taxes levied by the CBF is higher than rates approved by the City District Government Karachi. Daily Times
