TEACHERS from all agencies and frontier regions (FRs) have been gathering outside the Islamabad Press Club for the last several days for their right of upgrading formula which has already been implemented in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

In July 2012 the provincial government announced the upgradation formula for all Fata teachers, but for some unknown reason it was delayed in Fata and awarded only to KP teachers.

I would like to request the authorities concerned to immediately issue a notification for upgradation to ease the suffering of Fata teachers.
