HEC finally extends dates of recognising published articles
Islamabad: The continued struggle of Federation of All Pakistan
Universities Academic Staff Associations (FAPUASA) finally succeeded in
persuading Higher Education Commission to extend the dates of
recognising articles published in X-, Y- and Z-categories of Pakistani
journals till June 30, 2011 for appointments. Earlier, the HEC had
stopped recognising these journals from June 30, 2010. The HEC officials
headed by Executive Director Dr Suhail Naqvi agreed to the proposal in a
meeting with FAPUASA office-bearers held in the commission. Karachi
University Teachers Association representatives participated through
video conferencing. FAPUASA President Dr. Mahr Saeed Akhtar headed the
teachers' team. The HEC also agreed to revoke the previous policy of
considering publications for which acceptance editors had issued
letters. The previous vice-chancellor discontinued the practice of
admitting publications for which acceptance letters had been issued last
year. HEC promised to send a circular in this respect next week. HEC
said that it is not opposed to promotions of stuck-up cases but the
concerned universities themselves will take a decision to that affect. FAPUASA
General-Secretary Prof. Kaleemullah Breach said that if HEC did not
accept its demands and the government did not release the funds, FAPUASA
will observe the Teachers Salam Day on October 5 as Black Day for which
a strike call had already been given. A scene was created when Dr.
Naqvi left the venue on the pretext of some other engagement. On this,
the KUTA teachers condemned Naqvi who despite getting complete support
of FAPUASA on the HEC demand of raising funds was not prepared to listen
to the grievances of the teaching community. The FAPUASA president also
supported the Karachi University's stand. Meanwhile, some faculty
members of QAU criticised Fouzia Wahab, spokesperson of PPP, who in a
televised discussion had stated that teachers need no pay increases as
they are getting salaries of Rs200,000 to 250,000. They said that it is
only the faculty on Tenure Track System, a few per cent, in the
state-run universities, which is being paid hefty amounts by HEC despite
floods and severe economic crunch the country is facing. They said that
some universities have not a single teacher on TTS. They asked the MNA
to correct her figures before making such statements. The news

Canteens at educational institutions unhygienic
Islamabad: Unhygienic canteens in educational institutions of the twin
cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi are posing health hazards due to
lukewarm attitude of the concerned authorities. More than 400
educational Institutions are operating in twin cities with most of these
institutions' canteens seen selling unhygienic food items while also
fleecing the students. Most of the students at lunch time throng
the little canteens, choosing to buy sugar-coated donuts, chocolate
brownies and packets of crisps and then wash the poor "excuse for a
lunch" down with cold tea or coffee. Canteens are now stocking up
on more junk food than ever before, goading students into buying and
eating an unhealthy assortment of high-salt, high-sugar and high-calorie
food. Even as branches of popular bakeries and coffee shops now
operate from the campuses of `elite' schools, wholesome rice and
vegetable meals at the canteen have been replaced by pizza, sandwiches
and desserts that children indulge in during lunch and snack breaks.
Health experts points out that skipping breakfast and then stuffing the
tummy with unhealthy snacks does even bigger damage. app
