KALAT: Kalat Deputy Commissioner Engineer Ayesha Zehri paid a surprise visit to the Government Girls Degree College. College Principal Ms Adeela Zaib took the Deputy Commissioner around the various sections of the college. She gave a detailed briefing on the available basic facilities, the problems faced, the number of staff, teachers’ attendance, the number of students in classrooms, the courses being run, the books available in the library and the quality of the newly constructed building, among other matters.

During the visit, the Deputy Commissioner took notice of teachers’ absence. She met the students and asked about their problems. She expressed strong displeasure over the use of substandard material in the college’s newly constructed building and decided to seek a detailed report from the authorities concerned.

Engineer Ayesha Zehri said no compromise would be made on Education. She said all teachers posted at the college must ensure their attendance, otherwise strict action would be taken against them. She said teachers should focus all their attention on the education and training of the students, because the progress of the country and the nation was possible only through better education.

The Deputy Commissioner said that education alone could lead a person out of the darkness of ignorance and onto the path of progress. She said the district administration would continue to extend all possible cooperation in resolving the problems faced by the college.
