Lahore EDO (education) Zahid Hussain Khan said that his office had awarded appreciation certificates/letters to teachers producing good results in the primary and middle standard examinations of 2006. He said no action was taken against any teacher since the district had produced over 90 percent results in both, primary and middle standard exams last year.
