Girls college short of teachers

Published November 5, 2006

SIALKOT, Nov 4: The education department has failed to resolve the long standing problems of the Government Allama Iqbal College for Women, Sialkot.

There are only 14 teachers for more than 4,000 students.

The post of the college’s principal has been vacant for the last more than a year and that of six professors since long.

The principal’s office and adjoining rooms are in a shambles.

The Sialkot district government established a hostel in the college two and half years ago but surprisingly there is no boarder.
