KARACHI, Sept 21: The Sindh Professors and Lecturers’ Association has appreciated provincial education department’s decision to charge no fee under the head of computer education.

In a joint statement on Sunday, the SPLA office-bearers, calling the education department’s notification, dated Sept 8, public-friendly, maintained that their association, for the last three years, had been demanding computer education to be made optional subject and not a compulsory one.

They said that computer education was already an optional subject in the curriculum approved under different education boards in the country, with the exception of Sindh.

According to them, inadequate planning and wrong policies of education authorities, during the previous years, had placed the students under unnecessary burden, as course offered to them were below standard, as mentioned by the educationists associated with the Karachi University and NED varsity.—APP
