Teachers demand a uniform syllabus
Chitral
-- All primary teachers Association Chitral (APTA) launched formal
protest by wearing black bands around their arms. Provincial head of
the association Malik Khalid came from Peshawar to join the
protesters. Amongst the multitude of demands, one that stood out was
to implement a uniform syllabus for all government and private
schools alike.
It may be noted that at the national level the only political party
which has this promise in their manifesto is the Pakistan Tehrik
Insaf which believes that equal opportunity to standard education is
the right of all citizens and justice and integrity in the society
begins with a sound uniform education system for all at the primary
level. -
