Educational Institutes or Harassment Centers
By Muhammad Zubair Siddiqui
Karachi
As it’s witnessed by everyone that recent cases of harassment are reported by the
students of educational institutes, either from the students of schools, colleges or
universities.
Recently, two such cases came in limelight. In one of the case, a foreign student
studying at University of Karachi was harassed by the officials of the respective
department.
Furthermore, she was also threatened when she opened up about
this issue in front of the media. The other case is related with the students of
Lahore Grammar School (LGS), in which some school students raised their voices against
the school administration and teachers, stating that their teachers had tried to
harass them and upon complaining this issue to the higher school officials, none
of the concerned authorities listened to them and ignored this issue.
After a week or two, three school teachers were fired from their jobs who were
found guilty of the allegations, on the other hand, the students of LGS also figures
out a so-called famous TV artist, as an accused one, who was working as
teacher of art.
Previously, the educational institutes were considered as a place where
parents sent their children fearlessly, but now the situation has been changed and due to some ‘black sheeps’ the educational institutes are losing their real identity.
It’s my due request to all those in authorities to take strict actions against
all these culprits, and not show any mercy and sympathy against the accused
ones.
