Officials of the Private Education Network have said that 24 lakh 75 thousand children are studying in private educational institutions across the province, while more than one and a half lakh teachers are employed, but as a result of the provincial government’s anti-education, this sector has reached the brink of destruction while addressing a press conference at the Press Club here. President Taj Maluk, General Secretary Syed Muhammad Alias, Naseer Afridi,
Nadeem Shah, Tufail Ahmad and others said that instead of encouraging private educational institutions that share 60% of the burden, the government is being discouraged. As a result of the move, thousands of schools in the province will be closed
He said that four members have not been elected to represent the private sector in the authority since two years, this authority has no legal status, thus separate members should be elected to represent private and public institutions in the board. 240 days are required to teach the syllabus, but as a result of the wrong policies of the government, barely 140 days are available. The suggestion of a fine of Rs. is beyond comprehension, he said that lawlessness should be abandoned
Private institutions are equipping the new generation with the jewel of education, but the government is punishing this crime by imposing heavy taxes.
