Talking to Pakistan Today, BIEK Chairman Anwar Ahmed Zai said the annual results of commerce group had exposed performance of private educational institutes. He said that Directorate of Private Educational Institutions Sindh (DPEIS) was responsible for bad performance of private educational institutions during the annual examination.
“I have a question to the director of DPEIS that if these educational institutes do not have proper teaching faculty or facilities, why they have been granted registration,” he said. “If DPEIS grants registration to any private educational institute then the board is bound to grant affiliation to the said private college or higher secondary school,” he told further. DPEIS Director Prof Mansoob Ahmed Siddiqui could not be reached for comments. While Director Colleges Sindh Prof Dr Nasir Ansar claimed that the performance of government colleges and higher secondary schools had been improved as compared to the last year.
He said that this year only those government colleges and higher secondary schools could not produce more than 10 percent results in which supplementary students of the secondary school were enrolled. Briefing about reasons of bad performance of some of the government-run educational institutes, he said that the admissions in the public colleges in the city were granted through Centralized Admission Policy (CAP). As per CAP policy those students who were declared failed in one or two subjects in matriculation were also granted admission on provisional basis and their admissions were confirmed once they clear the supplementary exam,” he added.
He said that CAP had selected some of colleges for such students who had failed in one of two subjects in the matriculation exam to avoid gap in their academic career.
