HEC Sindh universities' ranking
15 unis meet all standards, declares HEC
Karachi, Sep 15: The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has revised the rankings of private Sindh universities and
institutes, dividing them into four categories, W, X, Y and Z.
The
categories are divided according to Federal Cabinet requirements that were
implemented to raise university standards in February 2007. The requirements
include a Ph.D. faculty, a minimum 3-acre campus, an endowment fund, a library
and other facilities.
Universities fulfilling all Federal Cabinet
requirements are categorized in W. The HEC has placed 15 Sindh institutes in
this category: Institute of Business Management, Iqra University, Hamdard
University, Aga Khan University, Institute of Technology, Dadabhoy Institute of
Higher Education, Greenwich University, Indus Institute of Higher Education,
Newport Institute of Communication, Ziauddin Medical University, Baqai Medical
University, Khadim Ali Shah Bukhari Institute of Technology, Sir Syed University
of Engineering and Technology, Isra University Hyderabad and Szabist in
Karachi.
Category X contains those universities that missed only a few
requirements: Muhammad Ali Jinnah University, Indus Valley Institute of Arts and
Architecture, Jinnah University for Women, Textile Institute of Pakistan,
Karachi Institute of Commerce and Technology, Princeton Institute of Management
Sciences and Technology and Princeton University.
Only one university,
the University of East Hyderabad, barely met the requirements and was placed in
category Y, while DHA Suffa University and Nazir Hussain University failed to
meet any of the requirements were placed in Z.
The universities in
categories other than W have been given some time by the HEC to enhance their
facilities and performance. It is essential for them to meet all of the
requirements or they may be shut down.
APP adds: Jinnah University for
Women, Nazimabad was also upgraded from category X to W, said a spokesperson on
Saturday.
The university met all the requirements, such as qualified
faculty members, a sufficient number of books in the library as well as the
endowment fund etc. The enrolment of female students at the university is over
4,000 and the strength of the faculty members is 250 with 180 regular
teachers. Daily Times

Karachi: Sindh Minister for Education Pir Mazharul Haq has directed the Secretary of Education to submit a report of all dilapidated

DJ college teachers resent official's 'interference'
Karachi: The recent advice given by the director-general of
colleges, Sindh, for a 10-minute cut in the duration of each class period at the
DJ Government Science College has stirred up discontent among the teaching staff
of the institution who described the move as "uncalled for interference in the
affairs of the college".
The director-general had directed the college
principal to shorten the duration of a period from 40 to 30 minutes.
"We
are unable to understand what prompted the DG to give the principal such a
dictation, especially when neither the teachers nor the students of the college
have ever objected to the length of a period," some of the senior teachers
remarked.
They argued that how could a teacher manage to complete his
lecture and also satisfy the students who would raise some questions to
understand some ambiguous points within 30 minutes, pointing out that students
usually take several minutes to settle down in the classroom and get ready for
the lecture.
Expressing their resentment over the official's directive,
most teachers maintained that it was the prerogative of a college principal to
decide about the duration of a period.
A principal would always take such
decisions in consultation with his colleagues, they added.
When the DJ
Science College principal, Prof Chughtai, was contacted by this reporter to seek
his comments, he clarified that the DG Colleges asked him during a meeting to
shorten the duration of a period. "He has not issued an official directive so
far in this regard," said the principal.
He said that the normal length
of a class period was 45 minutes but the duration had been curtailed by five
minutes for the month of Ramazan with the consent of teachers and
students.
However, he added, a further five minute cut was effected on
the "insistence" of the DG colleges, Sindh. The DG had now asked him to shorten
the period by another five minutes, he added.
Meanwhile, Prof Iftikhar
Azmi, a leader of the Sindh Professors and Lecturers Association (SPLA), has
also expressed concern over the DG's "interference" in the administrative
affairs of the college. He supported the DJ teachers' stance that determining
the period duration was the prerogative of the college principal
concerned.
Terming the official's alleged interference "unwarranted", he
said that the education authorities should refrain from indulging in such
practices. Dawn

DUHS wants help for amputees
Karachi: In April, 24-year-old Safaraz lost both his legs and his left arm just one month after he was appointed the
point man or kaantay wallah in Pakistan Railways. The Landhi town resident,
whose family hails from Haripur Hazara, despaired.
But on Sunday,
Sarfaraz thanked the doctors at the Dow University Artificial Limb Centre
(DUALC) for fitting him with artificial limbs. "I was shocked when I first saw
Sarfaraz," said Sindh Information Technology Minister Haroon Raza on the
occasion, "but thanks to Almighty Allah and Prof. Masood Hameed and his
dedicated team members, Sarfaraz is standing on his feet."
DUALC has
provided artificial limbs to 700 disabled persons so far. The cost of an
artificial arm is around 36,000 rupees while an artificial leg comes to 76,000
rupees.
DUHS vice chancellor Prof. Dr Masood Hameed explained that the
cost of preparing limbs at DUALC is cheaper compared to other countries. "We are
bringing mechanized limb technology to Pakistan after Eid-ul-Fitr," he
added.
Sarfaraz is lucky. According to SITE Town Nazim Izharuddin, he and
Raza, who are members of the Patients Adaptation Society, rushed Sarfaraz to
hospital as soon as they heard of the news. They put together 65,000 rupees cash
to help.
For his part, Sarfaraz, who thanked the two men, said that the
Pakistan Railways authorities have assured they will pay back whatever his
family spent on his treatment.
"Those who have earned billions and
trillions from this city of Karachi should come forward and share the
government's effort to rehabilitate those who have become disabled
accidentally," the minister said. "There are lots of charities in city and the
people of this city have supported them through thick and thin but the corporate
sector is lagging far behind." The minister added that DUALC cannot afford on
its own to offer artificial limbs free of cost.
Sindh Assembly Deputy
Speaker Shehla Raza said that she would advocate a centre for Larkana very
soon. Daily Times
