HYDERABAD: The Primary School Teachers Association Sindh has announced a sit-in demonstration in front of the Chief Minister House in Karachi on November 4, protesting against the Sindh government and the Education Department for ignoring teachers’ long-standing grievances.
Addressing a press conference, PSTA Central President Ghulam Rasool Mahar and General Secretary Ijaz Ali Chandio stated that primary teachers have been protesting continuously for the approval of their legitimate demands, yet neither the provincial government nor the School Education Department has taken notice of their issues.
The leaders highlighted that teachers possessing M.A. and M.Ed. degrees, fully eligible for HST (High School Teacher) promotions, remain deprived of advancement despite serving for over 30 years. Ghulam Rasool Mahar demanded the immediate restoration of the service structure, timely promotions, and resolution of all pending administrative issues.
He warned that if their demands are not accepted prior to the deadline, primary school teachers from across the province will stage a protest sit-in outside the Chief Minister House in Karachi on November 4.
