the step taken by D C O is worth appreciating .If the teachers are careless then their negligence will leave catastrophic impacts on the socio economic development of the nation.it is well known that teachers are social builders or socia murderers
This interesting but not new. The education system in Pakistan as but collapsed - no point in resurrecting it. The only solution is to get rid of all of them and start from fresh. A few years ago I invited the Chief Minister of the Punjab Mr Sharif to take up my offer of free consultation and revamping of the Education System but received no reply. If that is the attitude of the political elite then Allah helps those that rely on the state. The education system in Pakistan as all but collapsed because the rich and political elites send their children abroad and are brought back (with some English) as budding politicians. The people of Pakistan need to rise up and eleminate all the corrupt political elite otherwise there will be no change.
