ISLAMABAD: Principals of Islamabad’s government colleges have complained that they’re struggling to come up with the goods for reporting to multiple bosses at the Federal Directorate of Education.
Finding the regulator for public sector educational institutions to be in disarray, they insist that the cause of formal education in the capital was on the receiving end of the duplication of work assigned to them.
The college principals, who spoke to ‘The News’ requesting anonymity, insisted that they were unclear about who their immediate boss was as they had to report to the relevant FDE director and area education officers, so the issues and challenges facing them were overlooked.
“AEOs keep us [principals] busy by asking for the same information about our colleges again and again wasting our time, which can be used to deliver the goods,” a principal claimed.
He said it was common to give multiple roles to the FDE officials and principals with education being the sufferer.
Another college principal said the FDE had complete records of schools and colleges that it regulated, so demanding information from principals about posts and other matters instead of examining its own documents was unfair conduct at the end of the watchdog.
