Merchants of education
Syed Ahmed Raza Rizvi
As we travel around the city, we happened to read sign boards of different English medium private schools, opened almost on every corner of streets, and with the passage of time, a big amount of increament has been observed in their quantity.
though, it seems to be a sign of development in the sense of educaton which could be helpful to improve our literacy rate and may serve to prospour our country, but this illusion would perish, if one happens to visit any of the school of this calibre.Any sensible parent who have ever visited those local-street-schools, may tell you a better story.
Over the world, teaching is considered to be a noble profession, but a heart wrenching and bitter truth is that the owners of these local-street-schools have been exploiting the noblity of this profession by demanding higher fees in the name of education while they provide sub-standered education, a senior school teacher revealed that these owners hire un-skilled, uneducated and less qualified teachers (mostly females, who do not demand big amount of salaries and even work for longer period of time.)
Majority of these teachers have joined this profession just for the sake of a pinch of money and are often found to be merely FSC passed, metric passed or even less! These teachers along with their Heads are seemed to be busy in ruinning this noble profession and turning it to a business.
An other senior teacher remarked that these bad workmen querrel with their tools and make a mess with syllabous by following cramming methods which destroys the natural abilities of kids. Mostly students from these schools remain spoon-feeders and loose the ability of thinking critically over different aspects and their power of decision making is also affected.These students from local-street-schools fece several difficulties while enter in their professional life.
Last year, on Friday Jan 13, ministr of education Pir Mazhar-Ul-Haq briefed Sindh Assembly that total 10,665 private schools are operating in Sindh, while 1,543 schools out of them are unregistered. List of other registred and un registered schools in few cities of Sindh is given below.
Karachi, Registered=5,559 Unregisterd=563
Hyderabad, = = 222, ======== 25
Jamshoro === 131 ======= 24
Mirpur, ======== 431 ======= 65
Sukkar ======== 307 ====== = 56
Larkana, ========= 217 ======== 35
Nawabshah, ======= 192 ======== 65
These Local-street, registerd and unregistered schools, have brought our education system on the verge of destruction. If serious actions are not been taken on instant bases, the condition will go worst..!
