Murree:
Hundreds of dejected students from the University of Kohsar, Murree, have been waiting for titles during the last six months or so, since the very excessive delay in the issuance of their titles by the University has put their future and in danger at risk.
The slowness of the university has destroyed the dreams of many students. Despite having spent six months, no titles have been issued, which makes students lose government work and other important opportunities.
Students claim that they have dedicated four years of hard work, time and have paid thousands of rupees in rates to the university, but without their titles, they cannot ensure employment or follow higher education.
After the elevation of Murree to the state of the district, the recruitment processes in several government departments are underway, but local young people cannot request due to the absence of their titles.
Students have demanded that the university administration immediately issue the pending titles and have appealed to the superior authorities to realize this serious negligence to avoid a greater loss of time. If this situation persists, there is the real risk that students lose valuable academic years, so all responsibility will rest only in Kohsar University Murree.
Private schools challenge government orders
Despite the clear instructions of the Punjab government and the guidelines issued by the Department of Education of Murree, private educational institutions have not been able to align their operations with the official regulations.
The directives of the provincial government seem to have been blatantly ignored since no reductions in rates have been implemented, and the collection of exorbitant registration fees continues incessantly.
Parents say that private schools have become a source of constant anguish for both students and their families. Parents with financial difficulties face serious economic difficulties due to high enrollment rates and the mandatory purchase of school books at inflated and arbitrary prices established by the schools themselves.
The affected parents have urgently appealed to the main minister of Punjab, the Minister of Provincial Education, the Commissioner of Rawalpindi, the Deputy Commissioner of Murree and senior officials of the Department of Education.
