The High Court today directed the authorities concerned to take steps in two months for amending the provisions of a law that allows lawmakers to become chairman of the governing bodies of private educational institutions.<\/p>\n
The directive comes weeks after the HC declared illegal the provision of Non-government School College Governing Body Regulation-2009 that enables the MPs to head the governing bodies.<\/p>\n
The court also ordered formation of ad-hoc committees at private educational institutions in 30 days to hold elections to the governing bodies.
\nThe High Court on June 1 declared illegal the rules that were allowing the lawmakers to become chiefs of the committees of the educational institutions.<\/p>\n
The HC delivered the verdict hearing two separate writ petitions filed by SC lawyer Eunus Ali Akond challenging the legality of the provision.<\/p>\n
The petitioners alleged that several ruling party lawmakers flout government rules to become chairmen of governing bodies of private educational institutions in their constituencies.<\/p>\n
They also allegedly nominate their relatives for the post in a bid to appoint teachers of their choice.<\/p>\n
There are over 18,500 non-government secondary schools in the country and all of them are being run by their governing bodies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
