Communist Party of Pakistan statement of destroying Girls schools in NWFP.
The bombing and burning of the girls schools in NWFP is an act of violence
against humanity. The targeted schools of girls are more than 160 schools in
the Districts of Swat, Bajour, Mohmand, Dir Upper, Dir Lower and other parts of
FATA and NWFP. It is a plan to keeping the female population in darkness and
deprived. The female literacy rate is very low in these parts of the country
and it was needed to establish more (almost double the numbers) the school
there for boys and girls and educate the young population of the nation. The
female literacy rate is about 22-24% in Swat, 2-3% in Bajour, 10-12% in Dir
Lower and 8-10% in Dir upper. But unfortunately the education institution and
specially the girls schools from primary to higher secondary level are being
targeted by the militants and thousands of girls remained in homes due to the
security fears and destroying the schools. About one in four schools in Swat
are destroyed by the militants. In some
area the small girls of primary schools are forced to wear burqa (vail).
Recently the Girls High School at Ganori Village is blasted in Dir Upper. The
only Girls High school in Wari Tehsil (Subdivision ) of Dir Upper is burnt and
all the girls are now forced by government to get the school leaving
certificates.
Communist Party of Pakistan condemns these acts of militants to keep away the
girls from education and forcing them into the age of darkness. Communist Party
of Pakistan calls upon all the parents, teachers, political and rights
activists to protect the schools as some of the brilliant parents did in Swat
and Dir. CPP demands from the governmnet to provide security to the schools,
students and teachers. The reconstruction of the destroyed schools should be
the first priority of the Government and special programme on the
reconstruction should be initiated.
