SHUJABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf's (PTI) impact on young people has now reached the high school level -- but not everyone is happy with a politically charged school climate.
Teachers and administrators of Shujabad have complained that the educational system has been disturbed due to processions taking place in the school grounds of government educational institutions, which, in their opinion, is an unethical practice. Teachers said that students were being distracted from their studies due to the PTI's activities and rallies.
The situation came to a head after the PTI announced the organisation of one of a large procession inside the Government High School Shujabad.
Senior headmaster Raza Gulzar Muhayiuddin of Government High School Shujabad had initially refused to give permission to the district administration to carry out a PTI procession in their school, which was serving as the examination centre for intermediate supplementary exams at the time.
Senior officials of the school, who chose to remain anonymous, told The Express Tribune that the district administration later pressurised the school authorities into granting permission for the procession.
DCO Zahid Akhtar visited the school after which Commissionaire Multan Khurram Ali Aagha granted the permission, officials said.

I Love IK
PTI is also campaigning to vote for the party, not the candidate.
This will be best thing to happen to Shujabad, we salute the people and students, and hope you support the revolution
No need to do jalsa in shujabad cuz its nt based on any party it depends on the canidate!!
The Jalsa is at 4pm. I don't know what's the big deal.
What people say, what people do, and what they say they do are entirely different things
This article is written in convoluted language and doesnt clarify what actually happened. Anyhow, PTI should know better than to use schools for rallies and/or processions.
cmon guys can we have atleast some sense and sanity here what difference will one day make in the studies of young children what kind of headmaster and other administrator of the school are and yah atleast they are not forcing them to participate in the jalsa just like our dear pml n
IK is the best
Be careful PTI/IK, politicising the youth is good but within some limits. I hope PTI takes care next time. For PTI education is still FIRST.
It was made clear by pmln's last rally that they pay teachers. 7th-8th grade students were present at that rally in school uniform and said they were forced to attend by their teachers. Therefore it is no surprise now that some 'teachers' are complaining about a PTI rally. It is sad that pmls's badmaashi has influenced even school teachers.
these activites are necessary too dnt blame pti for it rather put focus on 3rd class education system in govt schools
ET is so against Imran Khan... don't know why!
really PTI or PMLN should at least take off their poltiics from education. what's the point in involiving students into your dirty potlics,
The problem is because of the few teachers who are supporting pml , PML is now entering in dirty politics because they paid cash money to the teachers to protest against granting permission.
Why Punjab Govt. emphasis to conduct rally in school ground instead ask PTI and provide them alternate? DCO is answerable.
PTI asked for the permission and it was given by the district administration in this school..PTI did not asked for the school specifically..instead it was mentioned by the authorities that only this school ground can be used by PTI is they want to do any jalsa..strange from ET..
