Unpaid struggles

I was blessed to have some of the most qualified, dedicated and sincere teachers during my school life. Their efforts for the academic and moral grooming of students cannot be appreciated in words. In 2013, our school was an example of discipline and commitment. Classes were conducted timely, and homework was checked regularly. The morning assembly was a norm, and latecomers were dealt with strictly.

Our remarkable teachers, who were recruited in 2012 under the ‘other cadre’ as primary school teachers (PSTs) and junior school teachers (JSTs) and who served with utmost dedication for three to four years, have yet to receive their rightful salaries. Despite their unwavering efforts, their salaries, status and future hang in the balance. The Sindh government, especially the Education Department, should recognise the services of these teachers and give them their due salaries.

It is also important to regularise their employment. The government must also provide resources to facilitate the educators, including professional development opportunities, access to modern teaching tools, and a supportive work environment.
