Around two hundred schools have been outsourced to private sector within the inter provincial territory of the district Attock while more than five thousand schools are being outsourced across the Punjab during the last one month putting future of the students at stake.. The well placed sources while expressing their views including an executive officer supervising a number of these schools told our scribe on Wednesday saying that teachers will soon be appointed for these schools.
In some areas, community is protesting against this decision and are saying that this decision of Punjab government is against the constitution of the country and must be taken back. During first phase, 5800 schools have been outsourced, in second phase 5800 schools while in third phase 3000 schools will be outsourced .As many as nine primary schools in Attock district, out sourced to private sector have been without teachers for the last one month putting future of the students at stake.
Thousands of schools have been out sourced across Punjab with the stance of the government that quality of education will be improved and burden on public exchequer will also be reduced.
The schools without teachers include GPS Tora Bera GPS Pirkot, GPS Arang, GPS Kolyar, GPS Dhok Loharan, GPS Jogimera, GPS Mararia, GGPS Dhok Mari and GPS Ghari Matani. On the other hand, teachers performing their duties in public sector schools opine that earlier in these schools highly qualified teachers were available and now private sector is hiring teachers for these schools who are not qualified.
