The drastic change is being seen to thwart the likely handing over of the control of the school system to any organization by the government. A source in the federal government told Dawn that the Turkish government had suggested handing over of the chain to an international NGO having links with the Erdogan administration. The Turkish nationals, earlier serving on administrative posts, will now work as teachers, according to a bigwig of the schools system and familiar with the developments. PakTurk schools are no more registered under the international NGO (PakTurk International Education Foundation). They will work under a locally-registered PakTurk Education Foundation. The official said a new six-member BoD with complete local representation had been formed to run the affairs of the schools. Last week, Pakistain had promised ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... ’s visiting Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu that it would investigate the network of schools Ankara wanted shut for its alleged links with the US-based holy man, Fethullah Gulen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... , it blames for last month’s coup attempt. | |
