Special packages for Punjab teachers still not implemented

RAWALPINDI, Nov 01, 2007: Teachers of the Punjab government schools expressed anger over the two-month delay in the implementation of special incentives announced in September.

Punjab Chief Minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi had said that Rs 4 billion would be spent on the improvement of the salary structures of teachers and clerical staff on September 2. The notification in this regard was issued on September 28 but the teachers are still awaiting the benefits promised.

The new structure would shift primary school teachers from grade 7 to grade 9 while the teachers at grade 9 would be moved to grade 11. Elementary school teachers would move to grade 11 to 15 as per their seniority, with substantial increase in salaries. Teachers of English, mathematics and science would receive benefits under separate packages. Throughout Punjab 350,000 teachers were to benefit from the new packages. The headmasters or headmistresses of primary schools would get Rs 250 as a charge allowance, while middle school headmasters or headmistresses would receive Rs 500. Similarly, the heads of secondary and higher secondary schools would get Rs 600 and Rs 750 respectively.

Punjab Teachers Union Rawalpindi district President Dr Chaudhry Saghir Alam blamed the district administration for the slow implementation. He said that the delay in the implementation of the notification is unjustifiable and added it caused resentment among teachers. He gave the district government November 5 as the deadline to fulfill their demands and said that otherwise teachers from all over the district would protest in front of the offices of the district coordinating officer and district nazim. Education Executive District Officer (EDO) Chaudhry Mohammad Yousaf said that the staff was working day and night to accomplish the task and hopefully by November 5 they will be able to prepare the seniority lists of all the teachers in the district. Yousaf said that after the preparation of seniority lists they would know what grade each teacher is to be promoted to. He added that part of the delay was because some teachers had not yet submitted their Annual Confidential Reports (ACRs) to the EDO's office. He said that the Punjab government had given November 20 as deadline to implement the packages and they were well on their way to meeting that target. Daily Times
