COVID-19 exposes lack of coherence at universities
KARACHI:24 March: As the Sindh government extended the closure of all educational institutions in the province until May 31 to contain the spread of the novel coronavirus and later declared the break as summer vacation, university students have been left in a state of confusion.
In a bid to complete the semester on time, many universities have decided to continue online classes despite the government’s announcement to treat the break as the summer vacation.
“If this is the summer vacation, why are we compelled to attend online lectures? This makes no sense and my university has not clarified anything,” said a student from the Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (SZABIST), who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
A survey conducted by The Express Tribune revealed that several other universities and institutions in Karachi and other cities of Sindh, including the Institute of Business Management, the Indus Valley School of Art and Architecture, Bahria University, Habib University, the Millennium Universal College, Greenwich University, Mohammad Ali Jinnah University, Denning Law School and the National University of Computer and Emerging Sciences, among others, all are currently conducting online classes.Army assures govt of all-out support in war against coronavirus.Express Turbuni.
