PESHAWAR - Peshawar Schools Officers President Jaddi Khan Khalil on Monday demanded of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Government to stop discrimination against the senior teachers of government schools in Peshawar by posting them out of the district.
He said that many senior teachers in grade 17 and above, who are residents of Peshawar, had been posted in the government schools of other districts while many such teachers from other districts were posted in Peshawar. He said that it was an injustice for the teachers of Peshawar to serve in the far-off districts of the province without the facility of the official residence.
Mr Jaddi Khan further said that it was almost impossible to travel from Peshawar to other districts daily while teachers from the rest of the province were posted in Peshawar because they had a political background. “Now we have established an association of senior teachers of Peshawar to make efforts for our rights,” he said.
The teachers have elected Pervez Iqbal as Senior Vice President, Muhammad Ayaz as General Secretary and Gul Shad Khan as Press Secretary of their association. They said that the teachers should serve the students in their respective districts in a better manner.
