The Sindh High Court (SHC) has formed a high-level reform
committee on petitions filed for educational reforms and is aimed at including
only educators on the committee. The high court, while ordering a four-year
program to start at 60 universities in the province, said four-year degree
programs should start at 60 universities this year and 100 more next.
The supreme court ordered a four-year graduation program to
begin at the 350 universities in the province after two years. On Monday, a
two-member bench headed by Judge Salahuddin Panhwar heard petitions filed by
the Pakistan Institute of Labor Education and Research. During the hearing, the
court expressed its displeasure at not starting the 16-year degree program at
universities and said that it is misleading children. Students cannot get a job
or admission based on a 14-year education outside the country. 14 years of
degree is useless and just a piece of paper.
The court ordered action against universities that do not
start four-year degree programs. On this occasion, the court asked the
Secretary of Education that other provinces have started the 16-year career,
when will it do so?
During the hearing, the Secretary of Schools said that there
are 350 schools in the province of which 340 are in operation. In what the
court said it knows that the children were cheated for 40 years, a child who
leaves after spending millions of rupees does not get admission, his job is to
start a four-year program in every college and university that is offering the
two-year degree program.
