COMMENTS ON FEASIBILITY OF RATIONALIZATION OF STUDENTS'S STRENGTH AT FAZAIA INSTITUITIONS

1. Reference is made to letter No AHQ/76214(Const) /SC dated 19 March,2018.

(a) The recommendation of concessional fee structure is supported as asignificant welfare measurefor the airmen. Minimum fee for airmen equal to the cost of education: 130% of the cost of education for officers and 200% for NECs is feasible solution.

(b) Admission to the wards of serving PAF Officers and Airmen on the posted strength of theconcerned establishment may be guaranteed, however, strict discipline rules may be framed to terminate the disruptivechildren of PAF wards. Similarly, the airman children who fail to meet the set academic standards may also beasked to get admission of their childrenin the evening shift of FG Schools. (It is recommended thatthe children of PAF wards who violatethe good order and discipline of the college may be straight away terminated after one warning, however, thepolicy in this context can bebrainstormed in the forthcoming Principals' Conference.

(c) The suggestion to raise the merit for admission in HSSC part-I from 70% to 80% for Pre-Medical and Pre-Engineering groups in quite appropriate and will yield quite results. Likewise, the merit for ICS may also be increased up to 70%. The idea of Co-education not only for HSSC level but also for SSC level is fully supported as it willobviate to some extenttheshortageof classrooms as well asteachers.

(d) The Idea of starting of Fazaia institutions in the evening shift is cautiously supportedas itmayengender the complexity of the availability of the required number of studentswhich may be sufficient to pay the teachers' salaries and other associated expenditures. Nevertheless, vigorous efforts may be made with the FG Directorate to start the FG Schools in the evening shift at all the PAF Bases, as it will mitigate the maximum problems envisagedabove.

(e) Construction of additional classrooms in the given situation is essentially required.As perAir Staff's directive, the rapid increase in the induction of civilians' students in the recent past necessitates the construction of more classrooms to lessen the problem oflarge classes.Based on my experience as ACAS(Edu)and now asprincipal, it is earnestly recommended that a ConstructionQuality ManagementCell may be establishedat theDte of Schools andColleges to ensure a high standardof theconstruction of the classrooms.
(f) The probation period of newly selected teachers may be increased from one to two years. Besides, the criteria given in the manual, following clausesmay also be added for putting upthe case ofconfirmation to the Chairman Managing Committee:
(a)The confirmation case may be put up after two years instead of one year.
(b)For the confirmation of teacher, it may be considered essential that the teacher may have obtainedteaching category C.
(c) A teacher may be considered eligible for confirmation, if he / she may have obtained at least one high average report in two years.
