As most of the position-holders in the inter-examinations of the BISES from private educational institutions, questions have been raised about quality of education in government education educational institutions in the district.
The first position of the BISES was won by Khumaruk Khaliq, the daughter of an officer of the Swat Education Department, from a private institution. Apart from one half position, all the top ten positions come from private educational institutions, the performance of government schools in Swat has become a question mark on the lofty claims of the education department and the KP0 government.
The male and female students of government schools are complaining that on the one hand, the government is making claims for a uniform education system, on the other hand, the officials of the education department are enrolling their children in private schools instead of government schools. Which clearly proves the government’s claims to be wrong.
Parents have also expressed their regret that the ruling class and the officials of the education department are merely conducting photo sessions instead of improving the quality of education in government educational institutions. Due to which the quality of government educational institutions is falling day by day.
The children of the Elite class study in big educational institutions while the children of poor parents are left behind while studying in the same government schools.
