The government has received more than 18,000 applications for 4,080 vacancies of schoolteachers, recently announced by the Sindh government. Pakistan People's Party led government in Sindh would recruit 4,080 new teachers in the department of education, purely on merit basis.
"We have received 18,000 plus applications for the recently advertised vacancies of school teachers," Ibrahim Kumbhar, Executive District Officer (EDO), Education Department of City District Government Karachi (CDGK) told Business Recorder on Saturday. The CDGK official said that the applicants would be called for a written test soon after scrutiny of their educational documents.
Answering the question when asked about the allegations that the new government would select only Jialas, the EDO said that there would be no appointment on such basis but purely on merit.
As the World Bank (WB) has clear watch on the education department specially the recruitment process, so there is no chance of biases or corruption in the process of recruitment, he added. He also said that the World Bank had also monitored the recruitment of more than 7,000 teachers in the previous regime.
This reporter observed complete mismanagement at Civic Centre as hundreds of people in queues was submitting their forms on Saturday, the last day for the submission of forms. The staff members of City District Government Karachi (CDGK) were seen busy in submitting forms out of turn, which resultantly irritated the people in queues waiting for hours for their turn.
As the CDGK has transferred the centre for the applicants of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Youth Development Programme (SBBYDP) to another location at Karimabad to avoid the rush, a large number of applicants of SBBYDP were also seen at Civic Centre in complete frustration. The black marketers were also busy in selling the folders to frustrated people for Rs 10 instead of the real price of Rs 3 at different gate of the Civic Centre, our reporter observed.
The frustration of people increased when the concerned department refused to give more time on the last date of submission of forms as it was fixed to October 25, 2008 by the government. "The Sindh government should extend the date of submission of form," Atiq Rehman, Kashif and Saleem, who were among those who could not submit their applications till the end of time, told this reporter.
