JHANG, Sept 10: English language teachers, who feel ignored in the package of incentives announced by the chief minister, have decided to go to a court of law to seek justice.

In a statement issued here on Monday, the Punjab English Teachers Association said the package not only ignored English teachers but also degraded them.

The teachers said they were left with no choice except to seek justice. They said they had not been given their due rights for the last 12 years without a decision by courts of law.

They said a regularisation committee had been formed after a ruling of the Supreme Court which had recommended promotion of English teachers from BPS-14 to BPS-16. English teachers had also been transferred to middle and high schools, adding additional burden on them, he said. —APP
