KARACHI, Jan 9: The All Private Schools Management Association has expressed dissatisfaction over the newly- promulgated Sindh Private Educational Institutions (Regulation and Control) Ordinance and urged the Sindh governor not to implement the new law immediately.

Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, chairman of the association, Syed

Khalid Shah, said that the ordinance would espouse the bureaucracy further to hold its undue grip over the private schools.

The new rules would by no way help or provide any relief to the private sector, which, he said, had been sharing the maximum load of the government in the field of education.

He said the government did not take the private schools into confidence in regard to the ordinance that dealt largely with the managements of schools.
