KARACHI: Sindh Minister for Education and Literacy Jam Mehtab Hussain Dahar has said that drop out of the students, especially of the female students, is a matter of concern and it must be overcome at any cost and education department cannot put the things on a right track alone and all stakeholders have to work on the same page with great enthusiasm.
This he said while presiding over the 10th Board of Governors meeting of Sindh Teacher Development Authority (STEDA) here on Thursday in a local hotel. Schools Secretary Aziz Uqaili, STEDA Director Abdul Majeed Bhurt, STBB chairman, BISE chairman and other officers also attended the meeting.
He said that a certain standard had to be fixed for recruitment of the teachers and the other non-teaching staff as well to enhance the quality of education. He suggested that there are multiple solutions to the problems and everyone must ponder over the solutions.
He assured, “No compromise will be made on quality education and quality training of the teachers and we have to strengthen the institutions and if it is needed we will hire market-based staff to run the institutions.” He further said that only-result oriented people would survive in the department and as per policy of education department, the institutions would be upgraded and professionalism would be promoted in the department.
