Back in September Raza Rumi wrote here at ATP about a High School with only one student. Now reader Akif Nizam sends me this news item about, what he calls, the “Pakistani college with the best student to teacher ratio.” According to Dawn:
The Senate Standing Committee on Education and Science and Technology on Wednesday expressed concern over the teachers-students ratio at the Government College of Education for Women, Hussainabad. During their visit to the college, the committee members under the leadership of Senator Razina Alam Khan were told that the number of students had declined at the college due to long standing ban on appointment of teachers. According to a handout, the committee took serious note when it was told that the number of students was 52 and the college has a 25-member faculty.
Director, Curriculum Wing, Jamshoro, told the committee that due to mushrooming of private institutions, it became difficult for the college to enroll more students. Moreover, the ban on teachers recruitment was also one of the reasons for low number of students, said the director. The committee also visited a couple of schools including Government Girls Primary Urdu School, Khudda Bazaar, Lyari.
The 2 to 1 student-teacher ratio is disturbing simply because it signifies a waste of resources in a society where the problem is usually not having enough teachers. But what I find particularly interesting is the explanation given by the Janshoro Curriculum Wing Director. If he is right that private institutions have sucked the students away, then I am at least happy that the students ARE studying somewhere. But, if so, then why not just let go of the extra teachers, or transfer them to some other college?
But it is really the second point he makes that has my head spinning. Let me repeat what he says: “the ban on teachers recruitment was also one of the reasons for low number of students.” Please, explain this to me someone. So the point is that because new teachers cannot be recruited, therefore new students have stopped coming in! But, wait, isn’t the problem in this case too many teachers!
The hint of this terpene commingling – Does this terpene profile replicate the euphoric Blue Dream weed effects is honestly good and fundamental, not too strong but hush noticeable in the overcome way. It blends smoothly and adds a much beat flavor chart without overpowering the entirety else. Orderly a small amount makes a argument, which says a loads with reference to the quality. The packaging was secure, shipping was rakish, and the mainly experience felt reliable. Actually decent product and one I’d providentially disposal again.
