Girl's College Booni problems -letter


 I would like to draw the attention of concerned quarters towards problems of girls college Booni. GGDC Booni is the only Educational institution in this backward area to provide free female education to girls, but this college has many serious problems.

 

There is no permanent teaching staff. The teachers of Male college of Booni are taking classes. These teachers are doing a good jobs for the female College. They give their precious time to run & to provide free education to the college. All the students & their parents appreciate the contribution of the respected teachers of male college. But this is not permanent solution of the problem. It is a crying need of today to provide full teaching staff to the college to solve this problem. The Higher education Authority may kindly appoint local female staff on special & emergency basis. There are enough local female master degree holders in Booni & other areas. it is the genuine demand of girls of this area. In other districts of NWFP most of the people are opposing female education & destroying such educational institutions, but we are demanding female education in Chitral especially in upper Chitral. But unfortunately there are not enough educational facilities for the girls. This only college has also no staff.  Isn't it injustice?

 

The Second problem is the transport facility to the girls. There are two buses for 500 girls. These buses have no permanent driver. The driver of the male college is also performing their duties in this college. How can they perform regular & quality service? This also creates difficulties for the Girls. These buses also do not provide service to Booni. The Girls of the Booni village are going to the college on foot. This also creates many difficulties for the girls of Booni. How can they acquire quality education. It is the core responsibility of the concerned quarters to provide more buses to the female college.

 

It is the responsibility of representatives of the area to solve problems of the girls of this college. Because education is the right of every girl. Educated mothers build a polite & educated society. In this way we can wash out the  curse of ignorance, injustice, poverty, terrorism & intolerance from the society. We can achieve our goals only by providing quality & free education to our girls. GGDC Booni is the Institution to do it.  Let us all contribute our due role to make this college a great seat of learning.
