“Teachers
have been instructed that to ensure their attendance and their promotions have
been linked with their students’ performance. In addition, teachers are being
transferred back to their native areas to ensure they are not continuously
absent,” he said.
“Hattian’s
population is around 400,000 and there are over 300 educational institutions in
the district. The administration is trying to ensure that there would be no
ghost school in the district,” he said.
In Gwadar,
Mohammad Raza, the district officer for Education, told Dawn that last year, a
number of schools in the district remained inoperative, hindering enrolment.
“Over the
past 12 months, as many as 24 schools have been made functional and seven new
ones have been established. Several teachers were apprehensive about taking up
their duties, but the education department tied their job security to their
attendance, ensuring they would attend,” he said.
“Gwadar has a
population of 270,000 spread out over 12,000 sq kilometres. There are a total
of 259 government-run educational institutions in the district where around
33,000 students are enrolled. Security issues and frequent violence along the
Iran border are our biggest problems here,” he said.
But all is
not rosy in the rankings, either.
Swat, which
ranked in the top 30 from 2013, slid down to 77 in 2014.
