The private system of education in Pakistan has become a huge and lucrative industry. But interestingly government has never paid a serious thought to reform this sector. The system is by and large independent and out of the government control. These schools function as independent units in terms of fee structures and certain other regulations. Human resource management is one of such examples.
The private schools exploit their employees to the maximum. They engage their teaching staff though a very hectic schedule and demand their full energies, whereas they are paid much more less even than the standard wage rate. Which even cannot serve as sufficient pocket money. Further they also lack any job security and are totally at the disposal and sweet will of the owner of the school. They could be relieved of their duty at any time, the employees lack the right to sue such arbitrary acts of their employers.
The private schools charge heavy fees from students but pay a very meager amount to the teachers who build the standard of the school and help repose confidence of the parents in the institution. The schools also have unjustifiable heads such as promotion, maintenance, furniture and others wherein they collect a huge amount from the students.
The schools owner act as an established mafia which resists advances of change initiated by government or civil society. In the recent past protests were witnessed by parents in some part of the country and made effort to streamline the system, which at the end of the day was of no avail.
Alongside the many other areas in the private system of education which need to be improved, the teachers pay system and job security must given due importance.
