Thousands of Private Schools in Punjab Face Threats to Their Affiliation
Delays in extending their registration have put thousands of private schools in Punjab at risk of losing their connection with education boards.
The leader of Pak Awan-e-Taleem, Qazi Naeem Anjum, has demanded that school registration be extended immediately in order to prevent any disruptions to their association with education boards.
On Thursday, a crucial conference was conducted in Lahore to discuss matters pertaining to teacher preparation for the revised curriculum, private school registration, and modifications to the ninth-grade curriculum. The head of Pak Education House, Qazi Naeem Anjum, presided over the meeting.
To avoid more issues for private schools, he asked the School Education Department to speed up the registration procedure. He also underlined that, in light of the modifications to the syllabus for the ninth grade, both government and private school teachers must receive training on the new curriculum.
Along with criticising the closure of schools in LDA plans, which he claimed was depriving children of an education, Qazi Naeem also called for tax payment breaks for low-cost private schools that operate inside the boundaries of the Lahore Development Authority (LDA).
Several prominent people attended the meeting, including President Sadaqat Lodhi, Faisal Gilani, Hassan Minhas, the general secretary of Pak Awan-e-Taleem, as well as Mian Yousuf, Mian Fahad Tanveer, Rana Mushtaq, Mian Ijaz, and Shahnaz Hameed.
All of the attendees emphasised how critical it is to address these problems as soon as possible in order to protect Punjab’s educational system and the future of thousands of children.
