Sindhi heroes to be included in syllabus
WELCOME TO PROVINCIAL AUTONOMY
KARACHI: Sindh Education Minister Pir Mazhar-ul-Haq announced that the Education Department will include information about Sindhi heroes in the syllabus. Addressing the Sindh Assembly session on Wednesday, Haq said, The previous governments removed information about Sindhi heroes who struggled for the establishment of Pakistan. This act was a conspiracy against Sindh. Haq said that the Education Department will restore the syllabus that carried information about the heroes of Sindh including GM Syed, Hasan Ali Afandi, Syed Miran Muhammad Shah and others that were removed from the educational syllabus by the previous government. He also said that chapters about the life of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and Shahnawaz Bhutto will also be included in the syllabus. Answering questions by the assembly members he said, The previous government created a dangerous conspiracy by limiting heroes of Sindh in the syllabus to the districts where they belonged to but this will be changed. Giving an example in this regard, Haq said that Syed Alahando Shah belonged to district Naushero Feroze and a chapter on him was only included in the text books of this particular district. The education minister went on to say that the last government shifted a Sindhi language lesson about Abdul Karim Bulari Waro, the grandfather of Sufi Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, from class three to class five and added that this action will also be restored. Referring to the historical names of various educational institutes of the province, he said that in the past, several names of historical buildings were changed including the Dewan Naval Rai Academy (where Pir Mazhar-ul-Haq himself studied) and Sadhoo Heeranand. He revealed that the original names of these buildings will also be restored. Replying to a question about the promotion of lower grade officers in the education department to posts of a higher grade, the minister said that in the past, several officials were promoted to a higher grades because there was a dearth in the number of high grade officials in the department. In order to resolve the issue of promotion and On Pay Scale (OPS), we have decided to create a Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC) that will meet every month on the district level to resolve matters pertaining to the promotion of officers till grade 16 and after every three months, the DPC will meet to resolve the matter of promoting officials above grade 17, he added.....
