It was
shocking to hear that schools & colleges of Pakistan except Sindh are
closed for 03 days either it is because of extreme winter or due to security
measures. Whole Pakistan is under a continuous threat & chaos. More off
Schools under jurisdiction of Armed forces were closed in Sindh as well.
On one hand these Politicians,
Elected Governments & even Armed Forces claims that National Action Plan is
resulting in a promising manner, then what was the reason of shutting down educational
institutions in country.
Being a concerned Parent
and law abide citizen it’s my fundamental right to know that my children who
goes to schools or colleges are safe. I would not like to stay under constant
fear that my children aren’t save. Closing schools was the surprising option of
this ‘failed’ Government who are helpless against bunch of idiots who keep threatening
our children and playing with the careers of our future.
After 16/12 the APS horrific
incident, measure were taken to involve on educational institutions throughout
Pakistan. Rs.7.5B was allocated on Security Plan for Educational Institutions in
the province of Sindh, unfortunately the plan is awaited for execution.
More to add Karachi
being the mega city of Pakistan and students from all around the country as
well as from the parts of the world comes here for better education; Rs.83M was
allocated for the security plan which remains in files since February 2015.
It is loud and clear
that there are many chances of security breach in educational institutions,
never been an easy task. Governments need to take parents into confidence and
must curtail the chaos and panic. Social Media is the fastest way circulating
such messages or posts, even Governments can’t control it.
It’s a huge responsibility
of Governments, Educational Institutions, Law Enforcement Agencies, especially Parents
has to own such situation as together we can win this war. It’s such a shame that
Madressahs are open and schools are closed. How come the children who come to
these Madressahs are safe? National Action Plan is failure? Funds allocated for
Security Plan in educational institutions spent? Are they trying to sabotage
the educational system of Karachi only? Or we already have lost the war.
