I AM a teacher in a private school which has branches in Karachi. The staff is in a quandary as the school management has declined to pay salaries for the month of March.

The staff fails to understand the management’s excuses — like they are examining the situation and will release funds the moment they think they are in a position to do so. One fails to understand their line of reasoning as banks are open and the provincial government has facilitated private school managements.

The education department authorities should look into the issue.
