The Deputy Speaker, who is also chairman of the KP Assembly’s Special Committee for the recruitment of the implementation of the sons of the deceased Class-IV employees on their specified quota in universities, expressed sorrow and concern that various public sector universities including Islamia College University have so far not formulated any rules for the implementation of the son quota for the recruitment of the children of deceased employees.
Due to such a situation, the children of the Class-IV employees were passing through hard and difficult situations.
A meeting of the committee was held here in the Tahira Qazi Conference Room of the Assembly Secretariat with Deputy Speaker KP Assembly Mahmood Jan in the chair.
Besides, MPAs Nighat Yasmin Orakzai, Waqar Ahmad Khan, Fakhar Jehan, Sobia Shahid and Mohammad Idrees, the Secretary Higher Education Daud Khan and Deputy Secretary Assembly Wakeel Khan, the vice chancellors and their representatives also attended the meeting.
The panel reviewed in detail the implementation of the recruitment quota for the deceased employees of the public sector universities of the province and expressed concern over it that despite the fixing of 100% quota by both federal and provincial governments, but several universities have made no progress in that regard.
The members of the committee termed the situation tantamount to injustice with the deceased Class-IV employees.
The committee took notice of the unserious attitude of the concerned authorities over the problem. Out of 32 universities of the province, only eight have ensured the implementation of the quota, while the remaining 24 have yet to approve their rules from their respective syndicates.
The committee directed the Vice Chancellors for convening a meeting of their syndicates immediately to resolve the problem within their legal jurisdiction.
During the meeting, the Secretary Higher Education explained that under the notification issued by the government, the universities are authorized to adopt the framed policy and until they have not made their rules then they can adopt the government policy.
The committee unanimously proposed the framing of uniformed policy for the resolution of concerned and other similar problems to mitigate the grievances and hardships of the general public.
To this the Secretary Higher Education explained that work on this proposal is continuing, but added that it is a big issue and sufficient time is required for its solution.
The committee also took notice of lesser strength of students in some universities and presented proposals for increase in the number of students. The committee termed the performance of those universities commendable which have recruited the children of deceased Class-IV employees on the specified quota.
