Authorities give no importance to teachers and the struggles they continuously face
TURBAT: The National Testing Service (NTS) conducted teaching tests for Balochistan’s state-run schools. Many people took the test and qualifying candidates were provided jobs in far off areas. They have been diligently doing their duties but have been deprived of their salaries so far. Essentially, they are working for free. The teachers make trips of miles-long distances in order to reach their workplaces, despite high petrol and CNG prices. They struggle to teach in areas that no one else dares to leave their comfortable city lives and go. Due to delayed salaries, interest in the teaching career has decreased. The authorities give no importance to teachers and the struggles they continuously face. The authorities are urged to provide teachers their salary.
