FDE, Peira still under ad hoc arrangements amid education emergency

ISLAMABAD: At a time when education emergency is in place in the country, both public and private sectors regulatory bodies in Islamabad are running under ad hoc arrangements, raising questions over the efficiency of Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training.

The Federal Directorate of Education (FDE), which regulates over 430 schools and colleges in Islamabad, is being run under ad hoc arrangements since July 2023. Moreover, the office of chairperson Private Educational Institutions Regulatory Authority (Peira) has also been officiated under interim arrangements since January this year.

Interestingly, Prime Minister’s Office a few months ago had sought a report from the ministry of education on the issue, but still both the positions are vacant.

A joint secretary of the education ministry has been looking after the affairs of FDE for over years, while the executive director Inter-Board Coordination Commission has been looking into the affairs of Peira for the last four months.

“There is a need to conduct proper inquiry to fix responsibility against all those who are responsible for this inordinate delay.
