LARKANA: Secretary, Education Department, Government of Sindh, Akbar Laghari held a meeting with Directors of Larkana and Sukkur Division at Commissioner office Friday and directed them to ensure payment of monthly salaries to Primary School Teachers (PSTs) and Junior Elementary School Teachers (JESTs) of their respective districts recruited through IBA on merit.
He asked them to verify their documents, prepare statistics and get them released their monthly pay so that they should not suffer for negligence and delay of others. He further instructed them to follow cases in the courts and court orders be implemented.
The meeting was attended by Gul Sher Soomro, Abul Aziz Chachar, Muhammad Haji Buriro, Akhtar Hussain Kourejo and other officers. Laghari later on visited Government Boys Pilot Higher Secondary School where he distributed certificates among the successful students of 9th class who cleared the test.
It must be mentioned here that PSTs who were recruited nine months ago in the first phase are constantly performing their duties at the schools where they were posted but without payment of a single penny which has exposed the working to basic primary education system and raised hundreds of questions about efficiency of clerical staff. Credible sources said that the third phase of recruitment of the teachers has not yet started in Larkana region which was due in January 2023.
