Move to 'privatise' two colleges withdrawn
Karachi: The Sindh government has withdrawn a notification announcing the
handing over of two government colleges to an NGO, Zindagi Trust.
Earlier
on Thursday, students and teachers of the Khatoon-e-Pakistan Government Girls'
College blocked Stadium Road on Thursday during an almost two-hour-long protest
against the "privatisation" of their college. The Sindh Professors and Lecturers
Association (SPLA) demanded that authorities undo a notification in this regard
dated Sept 23 or colleges from across the province would launch a protest on
October 9.
Sindh Education
Secretary said that the Sindh government has withheld the notification vis-a-vis
handing over the colleges to the Zindagi Trust for the time being.
Students and teachers of the college chanted slogans against giving the
control of educational institutes to private organisations and termed this an
anti-education step. The SPLA members were also present at the scene and said
that the colleges being given to Zindagi Trust were among the top 10 colleges in
the city and there was no reason why they should be 'handed over' to 'private'
NGOs.
The SPLA also threatened that all activities of the
Khatoon-e-Pakistan Government Girls' College and Rana Liaquat Ali Khan
Government College of Home Economics would remain suspended on Friday as a
protest against the government notification. They also said that they would
again hold a protest on Saturday before Rana Liaquat Ali Khan Government College
and warned that on Monday all the activities of all colleges in Karachi would be
suspended in protest.
A couple of days ago the Sindh government announced
handing over the Khatoon-e-Pakistan and a few other colleges to the trust while
the Sindh chief secretary issued the notification in this regard on
Thursday.
Following the protest, the SPLA organised a press conference at
the Rana Liaquat Ali Khan Government College of Home Economics. They demanded
that the Director-General Colleges, Sindh, and the Secretary, Education, should
be replaced with pro-education officers.
They demanded of the president,
the prime minister, the Sindh governor, the Sindh CM, chief secretary, and
education minister to cancel the notification of September 23 or colleges from
across the province would launch a protest. Director-General, Colleges, Rafique
Siddiqi, was not available for comments. The News
