Increasing motivation: Govt announces cash awards for outstanding headmasters
PESHAWAR: The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government has announced a cash award of Rs100,000 for headmasters who perform well. They will be judged on how well students of their schools do in the annual Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exams.
“A total of 118 schools from across the province will be shortlisted for awards based on the SSC results of students of class nine and ten,” an official of the Elementary and Secondary Education Department told The Express Tribune on Saturday. Rs100,000 would be given to headmasters while other teachers would be awarded Rs50,000.
The performance of teachers will be gauged through the Independent Monitoring Unit, a tool devised by the K-P government to track performance indicators and forward them to the education department so that corrective measures can be taken to improve the quality of education. Based on the system, a report will be prepared to select deserving teachers so that they can be awarded.
Lauding the initiative
President of All K-P Subject Specialist Association Salar Islam Tariq appreciated the initiative of the provincial government and said such recognition is likely to boost teachers’ interest in their jobs.
Appreciating progressive steps taken in the area of education, Tariq suggested the government should also bring some changes in the examination system and devise strategies to eradicate the menace of cheating and nepotism.
He added the examination board should adopt the mechanism of the National Testing Service so that students can have the right to education based on merit. Under the current system, he said, private school owners pay hefty sums of money to book examination halls so that their students can cheat their way to good results and the school subsequently earns a reputable name.
Tariq also decried the marking system, saying it is up to the person checking the papers to give marks arbitrarily.
“The government would be able to rightly award deserving teachers if cheating and favouritism is eliminated and a computerised marking system is introduced,” he added.
Boosting morale
In a meeting with teachers, K-P Minister for Elementary and Secondary Education Atif Khan appreciated their role and said Rs50 million would be allocated to award the best teachers and principals of the current year.
He added such incentives will motivate teachers who will in turn do well in their work. Khan said Rs800 million has also been allocated for capacity-building of teachers.

K-P govt fines Qatari prince for hunting falcons
In a rare move, the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Ministry of Environment fined a Qatari prince Rs80,000 after he was caught with three falcons in Dera Ismail Khan.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan, who’s party is the ruling party in the province, tweeted:
Members of the royal families of the Gulf States and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia are known to be enthusiastic hunters and travel to Pakistan each year to hunt the rare Houbara Bustard.
The annual hunt has sparked controversy in recent years because of the Houbara bustard’s dwindling numbers, with the issue also shining a spotlight on traditionally close ties between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature includes the bird on its ‘red list’ of threatened species, estimating there are fewer than 97,000 left globally.

In complete disregard of the court verdict, the Foreign Office continues to facilitate the hunting of the Houbara in Balochistan, going so far as sending members of the federal cabinet to the Dalbandin airport last week to receive the hunting party of Prince Fahad of Saudi Arabia.

Unreleased funds: K-P warns of boycotting NFC award meeting
PESHAWAR: The provincial government has threatened to boycott the next meeting of the National Finance Commission (NFC) Award if the federal government fails to release Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s pending share.
Addressing a news conference at the Peshawar Press Club on Tuesday, Minister for Finance Muzaffar Said said although the federal government has made several promises, it has yet to give K-P a total of Rs6 billion as its share in the net hydel profit for fiscal years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. Said added K-P has also been deprived of its share of the Coalition Support Fund (CSF).
According to the minister, the federal government has announced development projects for smaller provinces in the past, but has always failed to take practical steps. “Only a small amount is released while the rest of the amount meant for the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) goes to the federal government and larger provinces,” said Said.
Giving details of some previous allocations, the finance minister said in 2010-2011, only Rs9.4 billion of the total Rs663 billion PSDP was spent on K-P. In 2011-2012, only 4.11% of the Rs730 billion PSDP was spent in K-P, while only 2.26% was spent in 2012-2013. “Details of the total expenditure for fiscal years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 are yet to be provided by the government,” he added.
Said demanded the PSDP allocated for K-P for 2014-2015 be spent in the province and its various pending funds be released. “K-P has been at the frontline in the war against militancy, but the federal government has failed even to release its share of the CSF.
“We demand the federal government to allocate two-thirds of the total CSF amount to K-P in order to revive its economic condition and stop its youth from diverting towards militancy and extremism.”
The finance minister also stressed K-P’s right to collect excise duty on oil production. According to Said, the militancy-affected province could generate Rs20 billion annually by collecting duties on the resource since it produces 50% of the country’s oil. He claimed the federal government was refusing to allow the imposition of the excise duty, which is a violation of the Constitution.
Meagre resources
Speaking about other issues plaguing the province and burdening its fledgling economy, Said pointed out K-P has been hosting internally displaced persons (IDP) for years and Afghan refugees for decades, and that is an additional burden on its resources.
“The province spends more than Rs71 billion annually on the welfare of Afghan refugees,” he said, demanding that the federal government immediately release Rs2.7 trillion (from 1980 to 2015) to K-P since taking care of refugees is its responsibility.
Shifting his attention to funds spent on IDPs from the tribal areas, the minister said Fata’s law and order is directly affecting the province’s law and order. He added 13% of the province’s resources are utilised on the welfare of people displaced from tribal areas, which amounts to Rs52 billion.
“We demand that all funds and pending dues be paid to the province or we will not attend the meeting to be held for deciding the NFC Award,” warned Said.
