The number of bachelors’ students in the ‘top 26′ Punjab colleges has dropped almost by half in the wake of the Shahbaz Sharif government’s flagship initiative: the launching of four-year BS (Honours) programme.

The Punjab higher education department says some 12,400 students have got admission in the new programme offering 25 disciplines — against last year’s enrolment of over 23,500.

The programme was launched on Oct 15. These top 26 colleges in 12 districts have ceased to offer the old two-year degree programme. These were considered to be more resourceful of the 440 government colleges in the province.

The students who have enrolled in the new programme are uncertain as they await qualified teachers to turn up in full strength, and for infrastructural facilities to take shape.Many in the select group of colleges lack even the information technology (IT) labs which are an important component of the programme. An IT teacher from one of the selected institutions in Gujranwala says his college has not even been provided a course outline. READ MORE »
