Authorities in Peshawar have suspended two principals, one head teacher, and ten teachers from various government schools for failing to organize Independence Day celebrations.
Syed Mohtasim Shah, the Secretary of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Department, conducted visits to several schools in Peshawar as part of the Independence Day celebrations.
As a result of not arranging the Independence Day ceremonies, the principal of Government Haris Shahid High School Peshawar has been suspended. Additionally, the principal of Government Primary School Zaryab Colony Peshawar, along with ten teachers, has also faced suspension.
The Secretary of Education has also suspended the principal of Begum Shahab ud Din Girls High School and directed the transfer of other staff to distant areas.
According to the Education Department, directives to hold Independence Day celebrations in schools were issued well in advance.
The Education Secretary has instructed the Director of Education to take strict action against other school principals and staff who did not organize Independence Day events in their respective schools.
The incident has sparked a debate on the importance of celebrating national events in educational institutions and the responsibilities of school administrators to uphold such traditions.
The secretary education is a sick minded person as how overnight arrangements for celebration could be made during holidays when nothing planned before summer vacations.
Did they not know. Not suspend. Terminate them
Give me an hour and I can make it possible, and they get a lot of time to make arrangements…
Just terminate them is the right answer…
Kam chor, desh drohi.
She is not living in jungle and how responsible person are careless and forget to celebrate our national day. Should be put them jail till next 14th of August than she will never forget
Terminate them. Secretary welldone
The staff did it deliberately and must be punished. They are govt servants and not politicians
The action must be taken against corruption not for this being a true Pakistani
Nonsense. Secretary Education must be suspended for such stupid steps. Did he not have more productive and useful tasks to do than visiting the schools to inspect celebrations? No ‘celebration’ can be a compulsory act. The so-called patriots who colour their faces on Independence Day and cut the roots of the country the year around one way or the other should keep quiet and mind their own business.
Sectary education is a Big weight Lifter…..i think you can understand what I mean weight lifter (TC)
There are only two days Muslims must celebrate, Eidulfitr and Eiduladha.
And there is no ayat or hadith in my knowledge that recommends doing so in a particular place.
The job of teachers is to teach and principals is to manage. Anything else, based on the whims and desires of other actors, politicians, etc., cannot be forced.
The Secretary is acting like a dictator.
The secretary is obviously just pulled a attention seeking stunt to please certain ppl and get a promotion…
