Schools in need of subject specialists
GUJRANWALA, Sept 8: The students of Wahando who passed their matriculation examinations could not get further education due to nonavailability of teachers. The government had upgraded Government High School a few years ago and declared it a higher secondary school for boys. However, it failed to appoint teachers (subject specialists) there.
At present, only five teachers were performing their duties.
According to principal Ghulam Nabi Anjum, three of them have been transferred after lifting of ban on transfers while one was deputed as deputy district education officer in Kamoki. The only teacher was also trying to get himself transferred from the remote area.
Meanwhile, students and their parents expressed their concern over closure of admission to intermediate classes and urged the chief minister and education high-ups to depute teachers there.
