Students boycotted classes at Edwards College Peshawar
A boycott of classes at Edwards College Peshawar was caused by a dispute with the college’s new administration. Faculty members turned against the principal after the controversy broke out. Students joined in and staged protests, held press conferences and asked the KP government to intervene. The result was the boycott of classes, which lasted for two weeks.
The controversy erupted after Imran Khan addressed the students at the school. He used derogatory language against political opponents. Imran Khan’s speech sparked a heated debate over whether educational institutions should be used for political gain. According to reports, the college official learned about Aimal Wali Khan’s visit through social media. The official ministry of higher education has not yet contacted Aimal Wali Khan to respond to the issue.
The school’s administrators and Bishop have stated that they are looking into the matter and are trying to resolve it. The government and bishop have both said the college belongs to Christians. The next step is to get the principal fired and the troublemakers removed from the faculty. The ultimate goal is to restore the reputation of the college. Hopefully, this will be accomplished by sitting down and resolving the issue.
The rift is a major setback for the institute. As a result, more than 400 students have left the college. This is due to poor performance and internal rifts between management and faculty. Previously, Edwards College Peshawar was one of the best schools in the province.
The situation at Edwards College Peshawar has erupted in controversy. Imran Khan was accused of using derogatory language against his political opponents in his speech at the college. However, the college administration is now inviting Imran Khan to come and address the students. They have posted the invitation on their website. The address will be held at 2:00 PM, and students must register to attend. In the past, other great leaders have also visited the college.
Christian leaders have reconstituted their own Board of Governors
Edwards College, Peshawar is the oldest education institute in the province, owned by the Christian community and not the government. The institution was founded in 1855 by the Church Missionary Society and became the first western-style school in the northwest frontier of British India. In the past year, Christian leaders and the government have clashed over the management of the institution, which has now been declared a private entity.
The Christian leaders have announced that a protest campaign will begin if the KP government does not hand over the college by Christmas. The college is currently being governed by a provincial board of governors. The provincial government reconstituted the Board of Governors on Nov. 22, but the Christian leaders say they plan to file a lawsuit if they cannot get their hands on the college before the school year ends on December 24.
A press conference was held by four Church of Pakistan bishops in Lahore to demand the liberation of Christian educational institutions. The process of appointment, in which only one candidate was eligible, was criticized by Pakistani media. The Church of Pakistan has also stated that it has serious concerns about the process.
Administration issues have affected the performance of the college
Edwards College Peshawar, one of the best colleges in Khyber Paktunkhwa, has faced some serious issues in recent months. The school has been struggling with poor performance and has lost approximately four hundred and fifty students. Its performance has been hampered by internal rifts among the faculty and management of the college. As a result, people have started moving their children out of the college.
Peshawar’s High Court ruled against Malik Naz and declared the college a private entity. The college has also faced issues with the appointment of the Principal. Its appointment was challenged in court, with academician Malak Naz claiming the appointment was predetermined and the result of political pressure and maneuvering. He further claimed that the appointment was not in accordance with the law.
In addition to the academic difficulties, Edwards College Peshawar has faced internal rifts with its administration. The Diocese of Peshawar, the Provincial Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the College have clashed over administrative control. This has led to tension between the faculty and the principal of the college. The Higher Education Regulatory Authority (HERA) has also inspected the college and criticised it.
According to Bishop Peter, the Christian community in Pakistan is ready to start a protest campaign if KP government doesn’t hand the college back to the Christian community before Christmas. In addition to the issues related to the principal, the students and faculty members have started a boycott of classes to protest against the college.
The college’s performance has been negatively affected by these problems. Its reputation was once regarded as one of the best colleges in the province. However, these problems have affected the college on all accounts. The Board of Governors failed to appoint a permanent principal, and it was forced to fill the two vice-principal positions with temporary officials.
The PTI Chairman Imran Khan is now visiting the college to address the students. The college has uploaded an invitation to the event on its official website. The lecture is scheduled for 2:00 PM. To attend, students must register on the site. In the past, many great leaders have visited the college.
The BoG meeting was held on June 16 and minutes of the meeting were tampered with. On the next day, a three-member committee was appointed to select a new principal. In addition to the acting principal, the committee had a list of five associate professors for the school. This committee had to scrutinize the candidates and conduct interviews before making a final decision.
