Students concerned at poor facilities in Edwardes College

PESHAWAR: The students of Edwardes College have asked the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government to take notice of the prevailing state of affairs at their college and facilitate them to continue their education.Speaking at a press conference, the student leaders including Bilal Sethi, Ahmad Shah, Waqas Shah, Shah Faisal and others said the tuition fee had been increased from Rs28,000 to Rs45,000. They complained that the shortage of teachers and classrooms had badly affected their studies and they were forced to sit in the common room and library to take classes.The students’ representatives said the non-availability of books and the required material for research had also affected their studies but the principal and other high-ups ignored their repeated requests to provide the required facilities.They said the multimedia and other modern facilities were not available at this historic college which once enjoyed a prestigious image among the educational institutions in the province.It may be added that the students have been staging protests over the past two days in the college for their rights as they believe the existing facilities were inadequate for teaching purposes.
