Students facing accommodation shortage in twin cities
Students face residential problems due to accommodation shortage
Islamabad, Oct 25: Students in the twin cities are facing residential problems due to
little accommodation coupled with high expenses. Tahir Khan, living in
the federal capital for the last six years, said he had to change his
accommodations more than dozen times due to these factors. Another
student, Aamir, commented that due to non-availability of proper housing
facilities, he had to live in a small room. He complained about the attitude of
the landowners, who, he said, were usually very rude. Aysha, a student at
Bahria University, said private accommodation was so expensive in Islamabad that
rents ranged from Rs 4,000 to Rs 7,000 for a single bed accommodation. She
complained these hostels also lacked proper cleaning, hygienic food and
transportation facilities. Rehan, an employee of a government
organization, said that in the last few years there had been an unprecedented
influx of job seekers from other areas into the twin cities which resulted in
increase in the rents of rooms and houses. "University hostels cannot
cope with the increasing number of students forcing a majority to find private
accommodations on their own," said Salma, a student at the International Islamic
University Islamabad (IIU). Another student, Aalia, said, "We pay Rs
6,000 per head to the hostel management who provide us meals and
breakfast." Shahid, a lecturer, suggested the problem could be alleviated
by establishing more hostels. app

Regulatory authority's role effective in quality education
Islamabad: The private educational institutions regulatory authority is taking concrete steps
to facilitate educational institutions in order to ensure quality education in
the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT). "The authority is working on several
fronts to help educational institutions of the private sector, giving them
guidelines as per commitment to ensure quality education for achieving national
prosperity," said chairman of the authority Atif Mahmood Kiyani. He said the authority was
providing opportunity to teachers of these institutions to participate in
training workshops and the same efforts, he added, would continue in future as
well.As part of such measures, he said,
last year the authority invited 438 teachers to take part in training sessions
wherein they were enlightened upon modern teaching techniques besides other
skills.In keeping with desire of the
private sector, he said the authority was making plans to enable 3000 more
teachers to take part in next teacher training in due course of time. Moreover, he said the authority
had already given free books to students totalling 40,000 along with bags in
future and the such steps he added, were widely appreciated by the private
sector.Replying to a question, he said
the private sector was playing important role in educating the country's youth
with quality education.Thus, he added, there was a need
to further strengthen partnership with private sector and further encourage it
for investing in education sector. He said the authority was making
measures, having taken all stakeholders on board including representatives of
the private educational institutions with solo aim to ensure quality
education.Answering another question, he
said the authority had given different timeframe as deadline to those private
educational institutions that were lacking required facilities for
registration. However, he said the authority did
not want to impose its orders and was adopting flexible approach towards private
educational institutions and giving them enough time to fulfill required
criteria.He was of the view the government
was needed to come forward and start allocating of half of funds from national
kitty to the authority while the rest would be met from private sector's
educational institutions. In reply to a question, the
chairman said some private educational institutions kept changing fee-structure,
which forced the authority to increase security fee. app
