The Punjab government on Wednesday decided to establish district education authorities for regulating schools and resolving education related problems in the province.
The authorities would comprise 9 to 15 members including MNAs and MPAs, local government members, retired bureaucrats and other officers.
They would be authorized to approve or reject school renovations, teacher recruitments and transfers, laboratories, halls and rooms’ construction and the purchase of furniture.
According to sources, the paper work for the authorities’ formation is in its final stages and they would be established in the fiscal year 2013-14.
Meanwhile, teachers unions have decided to reject the formation of the authorities and start a protest movement throughout the province.
They believe that the authorities aim at a gradual privatization of government schools. They expressed fears that the authorities would merge schools in the first phase, and close schools or privatise them in the second. They also feared that teachers would be hired contractually.
