TEACHERS: Teachers will be given due respect in the society.

This was observed by the district Nazim, Khairpur, Ms Nafeesa Shah, while distributing cheques of motorcycle advances to the learning coordinators/supervisors of the education department at the Naaz Pilot High School on Monday.

She recalled that 50 years ago a teacher was more respected than a Wadera.

She urged the teachers to work for the awareness and betterment of the children and their education.

She said that Rs70,000 cheques had been given to the learning coordinators/supervisors for purchasing motorcycles so that they could perform their duties smoothly.

She disclosed that teachers posted in far-flung areas who were unable to attend their duties due to conveyance problems would be paid transport allowance.
