Study to probe higher TB ratio among women

Published by:

A UK-based university will carry out a study in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to ascertain causes of prevalence of tuberculosis in women.

School without books

Published by:

Students of the government-run and -aided schools in the city will start their new academic year on April 1 without textbooks – all because of a tangle between the Ministry of Education and the National Book Foundation (NBF).

Legal minds start arguing in the Islamabad High Court on Friday how to clear the mess.

Informed sources said the NBF was supposed to have the books for Class 1 to 10 printed by March 15 but alleged that ill-advised orders from the ministry created a legal mess and stalled the printing process.

They said the NBF posted a tender for the purchase of paper for printing the books on its website, and that of the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (PPRA), on December 22 last year as the All Pakistan Newspapers Society had placed a ban on publishing the advertisements of the Education Ministry because the ministry owed its members over Rs190 million in back payments.

Innovate to educate

Published by:

When I was asked by the government of Punjab to take over as chairman of a restructured Punjab Education Foundation in 2005, with the country’s education system in such dire straits, it was hard to conceive of how a foundation like PEF could make a contribution.

Today nearly 850,000 children are going to schools financed and overseen by PEF. That is more than the entire enrolment of the primary and lower-secondary system of the small country of Switzerland. PEF’s costs are remarkably low: only Rs350 per student.

There are two concurrent challenges that policymakers face in trying to solve the education riddle.

The first is simply that the demand for education is high. The incontrovertible evidence of this demand is in the growth of private-sector schools in Pakistan. In some areas private schools are inexpensive, where average monthly fees, back then, were as low as Rs100. The dramatic rise in low-cost private schools is a massive indictment by Pakistani parents of the public-sector system for delivery of schooling. Continue reading
