Students Deprived of College Admissions.
The latest episode of Jwandai Jazbey (alive spirits) focused on the SSC students problems; they are not getting admissions due to lack of seats in government colleges.
Students are facing problems in admissions in Governmnet colleges, due to high merit and less seats. Most of the students cannot afford admissions in private colleges due to high fee structure, students getting A grades and above 900 marks are still out of colleges. Only in Swat, 9000 students are waiting for admissions in government colleges. The program shed light on the role of government that they must increase the number of seats in government colleges as well as the increase in the number of colleges.
Mr. Azmat Ali, Ph. D Scholar in Civil Engineering and Educationist, Peshawar, took part as the studio guest in the show.
Mr. Ali said: “16 colleges to cater to a population of more than 42 lac people, are not enough in Peshawar. Government must arrange seats for deserving students on emergency basis to save their educational year. ”
A radio report was made part of the program. The report highlighted the problems of students.
5 listeners took part in the program. The listeners urged the government to increase the number of government schools and colleges.
