Chief Minister (5k+ posts)
PESHAWAR: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) led Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) government has started to invest its energies in bringing state-run educational institutes at par with private ones.
Efforts are underway at elementary, secondary and higher education levels whereby all concerned departments have presented their proposals and K-P Chief Minister Pervez Khattak is expected to approve them in the next few days.
The provincial education ministry is aiming to improve the quality of education being offered at government-run institutes after the institutions exhibited dismal performance across the province. Moreover, hundreds of schools have been destroyed or damaged due to militancy in Swat, suburbs of Peshawar and other districts in the province, which is why the government seems to be even more committed to enhance the performance of state-run education institutes.
Immediately after the PTI took charge of the education ministry, working groups at elementary, secondary and higher education levels were constituted to devise strategies for reforms in the education system. The groups then came up with several recommendations to give the government’s claims a practical shape.
“We are committed to bringing a revolution in the education sector and I can assure you Imran Khan’s dream of bringing government-run schools at par with private educational institutions will come true soon,” K-P Minister for Elementary and Secondary Education Muhammad Atif said earlier.
Apart from conducting teacher trainings, the education department has been focusing on ensuring 100% attendance of teaching staff, employees of the education department and students, he added. For this purpose, a GPS-based Biometric System will be introduced soon, said Atif.
Along with elementary and secondary education, the department of higher education has also made efforts to improve services. A complaint cell has been established and has so far received hundreds of applications regarding allegations of misappropriation and other irregularities in public sector universities.
Officials familiar with working groups deliberating over reforms in the Higher Education Department (HED) told The Express Tribune group members have not only proposed reshaping the HED, but have also suggested inefficient, irregular and politically influenced university staff be identified and dealt with.
“The department has been finalising things and we have stopped all public universities from further recruitment. We have instructed them to send us data of recruitment during the last one year,” said one official while requesting anonymity. He added some universities have sent the requested information and have been given a green signal to hire new staff, while those who have failed to send the data are still barred from recruiting.
