Insaf School Programme from March 2019: Raas

LAHORE : Provincial Minister for Schools Education Murad Raas has said that an organised and well-designed information and communication technology based system is being introduced in the department to achieve the overall objectives in the wake of 100-day agenda and to improve the service delivery.

Murad Raas disclosed that Insaf School Programme is being launched from March 2019 to accommodate the rising number of intending students in their nearby government schools. Talking to a delegation of teachers and education experts at his office here Wednesday, Murad Raas said that integrated management information system (IMIS) has been designed to achieve the targets of 100-day plan.

Giving a detailed of the IMIS, he said that this is a web portal in which various facilities are provided for teachers, students and the general public. Now teachers would be able to track the status of their applications, posting/transfer etc.

Similarly, all the required data will be available for the general public and parents would also be able to find schools for their children in their areas. As schools education department is a huge department with a number of attached bodies, it is therefore imperative to bring all the details at one web portal where people could get their information with one click. It is hoped that this portal will benefit the people in a number of ways, he added.

Murad Raas disclosed that Insaf School Programme is being launched from March 2019 to accommodate the rising number of intending students in their nearby government schools. This would be an afternoon school programme to cater to the needs of rising number of school going children and girls would be the primary beneficiary of this initiative as a government school would be available next door.

We are also working hard to promote co-curricular and sports activities to develop a balanced personality of the students and the time is not far when government schools will be the first priority of the parents, the minister concluded.
