Pushing back upper chitral

Dear Editor

Through your esteemed online news paper I would like to draw the attention of MNA Chitral, MPAs, District Nazim, DCO, EDO education and literacy and the provincial education ministry towards the discriminatory policies of Government Degree College Chitral.

For the last four years the administration of Govt College Chitral has adopted the policy of "No admission" to students from sub division Mastuj. They justify their statement that there is separate Degree College for students of upper Chitral in Booni. But the condition of Govt. College Booni is known to every one in Chitral, where students are not seen after 10am in the morning due to non availability of teachers. In the intermediate level this situation however does not affect most of the students in the way they find seats in the private colleges of Chitral. But in the Degree level when students of upper Chitral are denied of admission in degree colleges Chital they are left with no choice except to appear in the exams as private candidates with subjects like Islamic studies and law etc. which subsequently push them back in low standard. This is not is any where in Pakistan that student in the same district and even in the country are discriminated on the base of regions/tehsils/UCs. The only standard is the merit.

However if the government college of Chitral is meant for lower Chital than my humble request is to the all concerned authorities to make justice with the students of upper Chital by appointing staffs in Government colleges Booni. Secondly in the degree level at least the students of upper Chitral having marks 60% and above be given admission in Government College Chitral until Booni College have regular teaching faculty. Otherwise we are deliberating wasting our talented students from upper Chitral who being the resident of the district have equal rights of higher education.
