The Government Boys Degree College Daska has 2,200 students on roll, but the building is not sufficient to accommodate them despite the addition of eight classrooms.
Another important issue is shortage of the teaching staff. The sanctioned strength is about 60 teachers, but certain departments are either without lecturers or have one or two in place of four or five. There is no lecturer for teaching economics, Persian, Pakistan Studies, history and geography subjects in this college.
There are six posts of English teachers, but only one lecturer is available here. For economics, there are four sanctioned posts in this college. Three adhoc lecturers have been sacked while fourth one has yet got him transferred. Resultantly, no lecturer is left to teach this subject.
Likewise, there are eight sanctioned posts of Urdu. Two adhoc lecturers have been removed while three others have been transferred. There are now only three lecturers to teach Urdu. Not a single teacher for Persian, Pakistan Studies, history, geography and economics subjects is available at Government Boys Degree College Daska. Daska College principal told the newsmen that he brought this state of affairs to the notice of education department's concerned high-ups but no action had yet been taken in this regard.
Social circles have appealed to the Punjab education minister to look into the matter and fill the vacant posts immediately to save the future of hundreds of the students, as this college is without hall, examinations are conducted in classrooms and corridors. The provincial government should also think about the up gradation of this college to post graduate level.
