http://www.Faisalabad.tk have news and fun, earn $ was never easy to earn.
A very bad accident placed in Kalerkahar
I just turned my TV on only to hear this heartrending news: An overpacked 'school' bus, carrying 102 children from one Millat Grammar School of Faisalabad went down a chasm on the motorway near Kallar Kahar hills. At the time of writing this, 31 lives--including the school (vice?) principal, the driver and the conductor of the bus--have already been reported lost. Everyone else in the bus is critically injured.

The DCO, top bureaucrat in the district, was on air. An immediate inquiry was ordered, he said, and the 'culprits' will be punished within a week. Hmm!!

This is a country in which over 40% schools are, like Millat Grammar School, private schools. This school seems to have the profile of what some academics/policy analysts favourably call the affordable private schools or the low fees private schools. These schools are touted as part of a dynamic private school market. Glowing tributes are paid to these schools for being efficient, for delivering more bang for the buck. Well, here then is a deadly bang just delivered to the families of the now dead children.

Many influential policy pundits argue against regulating these schools. This is just an extreme example of the absence of regulation. Look at that damn 'school bus.' If there is a dynamic school market, then there is also an even dynamic damned 'bus brakes' market out there. And the driver of the bus made the wrong choice. The principal made the wrong choice. The school made the wrong choice. While everyone saved some money, 31 people lost their lives. Rational and deadly! that's how the market sometime works.

There is so much else going on in the name of [private] education. Yet, several big-wig analysts are content with counting the math and science scores of children from public and private schools, finding the latter higher, and waving the scientific-looking evidence of their superiority in our faces.

"No Regulation! Leave them Alone! They are doing great! It is a market out there!," They shout.

Someone whispers into the ear of the district boss, "Hey, my dear poor little DCO! what are you talking about? Inquiry? culprits? punishment?...duh!!! "

May the families muster enough courage to bear this irreparable loss!
