Chiniot, A girl’s middle school has been facing absence of teachers since the last eight months at village Wara, tehsil Bhuwana, district Chiniot.

The Government Elementary Girls School Wara was inaugurated by area MPA Mehr Saqlain Anwar Sipra on April 25, 2011. Education department officials including the EDO were also present in its ceremony. 25 students were also enrolled in class sixth at the school. These girl students daily come to the school but leave for home without being taught as the district education authorities concerned have shown no interest in appointing a teacher there.  

Parents are worried about the future of their daughters and people of the area question who will be responsible for wasting one year of the students? People of Wara and surrounding villages say they had approached MPA Sipra and the EDO Chiniot repeatedly, who only gave muffled guarantees. The parents of the students and people of the area have appealed to the chief minister to take notice of their trouble and give orders for immediate appointment of a teacher at the village school.

Secretary School Education Department Punjab Aslam Kamboh said he did not exactly know about the school. He said that posts were advertised earlier and teachers would be available from the coming academic session in April 2012.
