KARACHI, March 12: Private school owners have been urged not to miss the concessions being offered to them by the KBCA and to apply in time for regularization of the buildings of their institutions.

According to a spokesman for the Private Schools Management Association, a delegation of the body called on the KBCA controller and EDO (education) on Wednesday and apprised them of the difficulties and huge financial implications involved in getting their illegal building structures regularized in line with the ongoing KBCA drive.

The delegation, which was headed by the association’s Chairman Mukhtar Ahmed Jafferi was told that the management and the owners of the schools should not feel perturbed over the legal process of building regularization, as they should be given special concessions in view of their services to the society.

The private schools had been asked to submit applications for regularization along with a fee of Rs500, while the remaining procedure would be carried out at some later stage, the spokesman said.

Meanwhile, the association has also planned to hold a conference on the issue, wherein the officials of the education department of the KBCA would be invited to discuss and consider the problems and position of private schools in the wake of the KBCA’s campaign.
