Human Resource Management Of Female Teaches in Deeni Madaris in Pakistan

Abstract

Deeni Madaris are the cultural heritage of the Muslims. They are not only rendering a service to the cause of Islam, but are also lending a helping hand to the government in educating millions of children who cannot afford mainstream education .In addition to this ,female madaris have helped to reduce gender disparity which is reaching enormous proportions in the country. The present inquiry is an attempt to explore female madaris which have suffered great neglect. The study attempts to describe the exact situation of female teachers in deeni madaris in terms of their social class, ethnic origin and sectarian affiliation; and also their service conditions and opportunities for personal and professional growth. The study adheres to both qualitative and quantitative paradigms. Primary data-base has been generated through a survey and them an attempt has been made to gather further insight of the issue through in-depth, semi-structuredinterviews.Thus, the study enjoys a mixed-method status. Female madaris show a great neglect in the area of Human resource management. There is no specified, formal criterion for recruitment. It is almost always internal with best students generally recruited as teachers. Senior teachers are also selected through internal sources. The posts are never advertised in any newspaper. The study concludes that there is a need to modernize and to introduce reforms in female madaris generally, but more specifically in the area of human resource management. Human resource management has been described as the lifeblood of any organization. From selecting and recruiting individuals to shaping and developing those into valuable employees are the important practices of human resource management. Female madaris show a great neglect in this area. Consequently, teachers in female madaris are denied opportunities for personal and professional growth.
