Lecturers protest proposed Education Act, BoGs
PESHAWAR:20 september: The activists of Professors and Lecturers Association and All Technical and Occasional Coordination Council, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on Tuesday staged a sit-in outside the building of the provincial assembly against the proposed Education Act for educational institutions.
They were carrying banners and placards inscribed with slogans against the proposed BoGs for colleges.

The protesters, including male and female professors and lecturers, gathered outside the provincial assembly and staged the sit-in. Jamshed Khan and others led the protest and spoke on the occasion.

The speakers claimed that the provincial government had decided to hand over the educational institutions to Shaheen Foundation, which they said had no experience of running educational institution and lacked any strategy.

They alleged that the government had not provided any equipment or stationary to technical and occasional institutions to enhance the capacity of the teachers, adding the privatisation would result in further deterioration of these institutions, which they said, was not acceptable to them.

The speakers accused the government of ignoring the education sector and rejected any change in form of formation of BoGs or any such thing in education.

They demanded the government to upgrade their services, pay professional allowance and regularise the services of librarians, contract and ad-hoc lecturers and announce service structure for lecturers of Physical Education.

The protesters refused to hold talks with Member Provincial Assembly belonging to the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Fazale Elahi and stopped him from addressing the protesters.

They threatened to stage a protest outside the Banigala residence of PTI chief Imran Khan in Islamabad on September 26 next if their demands were not accepted.The news.
