KARACHI - The Committee for Monitoring and Improvement of city government's Schools (CMIS) will hold 15-day summer vacation camp for the students enrolled in CDGK schools from June 12 to June 28 in eight different towns, The Nation has learnt on Tuesday. The government schools are considered to be having poor education standards, lack of basic facilities and dearth of extra curricular activities; hence the CMIS's summer vacation camp is aiming to bring improvements in the city government schools and lot of revolutionary changes under the scheme of Pilot Project Scheme are underway. CMIS has developed government schools in nine towns under the Pilot Project Scheme where education standard is up to the mark and other basic facilities are also available such as availability of doctor with medicines. The development of schools in the remaining nine towns is underway. Organising extra-curricular activities such as summer camp in these schools was a dream in past for the children belonging to the poor class, but now this dream has come to reality as CMIS will hold the summer camp in a far better way as compared to number of private schools. In 2007, around 300 students participated in the summer camp and this year more than 800 students will likely to participate. The chairperson of CMIS Farhana Iqbal said that more then 800 boys and girls students enrolled in the Pilot Project's schools and would get benefit in the summer camp which is to be organised at eight different schools of CDGK. The students would be entertained and get educated through different sorts of activities like indoor games, animation movies, cartoon, IT classes, English language classes and other sports activities. The summer camp is free for all students, she added. The camp would be organised in Jamshed Town, Saddar, Landhi, Liaqatabad, SITE, North Karachi, Baldia town, and Gulshan-e-Iqbal schools.  Farhana said: "Due to the quality of education standard under the Pilot Project Scheme, hundreds of parents are interested in getting their children to be facilitated in the camp, but we cannot compromise on the availability standards of the summer camp and it will be gradually increase."
