Call to lift ban on private candidates
Rawalpindi: All Pakistan Private Schools Management Association (APPSMA) Divisional President Abrar Ahmed flayed the ban on private candidates from appearing matriculation exams in science subjects and appealed to Chief Minister (CM) Punjab to lift this ban at once by complying with the orders of the Lahore High Court (LHC).
He said that LHC has granted permission to private students to sit in the examinations but Punjab Education Department (PED) is violating the court orders.
He along with other office bearers of association was addressing a press conference here on Wednesday.
Abrar Ahmed said that former CM Chaudhary Pervaiz Elahi banned the private science candidates to conduct matric examinations due to which thousands of students were affected and their precious time was wasted throughout the province.
He said that the Shahbaz Government continued the embargo instead of tall claims of resolving the problems of the people.
"For the last three years the ban was lifted by the provincial government just for two or three days, before the last date of submitting the admissions on the demand of APPSMA. But this year, the government did not lift the ban and the future of all the private students of science subjects is being ruined" he lamented.
On this, APPSMA approached LHC, which gave the association relief by permitting all the students to appear in the examination. Now it is up to provincial government to respect the court decision and allow private science students to take the examinations of 9th and 10th class.
APPSMA Divisional President Abrar Ahmed, while responding to a query, said that the association did not recommend its members schools to receive extra money from parents of the children in the name of proper security arrangements. The nation
