Varsity professors allegedly running tuition academies

CHAKWAL:

The University of Chakwal is in the grip of tuition mafia, students told The Express Tribune.

They said that Public Instruction Colleges in Punjab Directorate has issued orders that no professor in government service will teach in any private college or tuition centre.

However, students alleged that many professors of the university have not only opened their tuition academies but some mark attendance in the campus and go to teach in private colleges.

Professors being public servants are barred from taking up private jobs while in service. In this regard, it will be necessary to obtain permission from the competent authority.

Numerous independent inquiries were made by the media people and the civic circles in this regard in which it was proved that more than a dozen professors are giving private tuitions.
