ISLAMABAD: All Pakistan Tenure Track Faculty Association (APTTA) of university teachers has urged the government to expedite the review of the revised Tenure Track System (TTS) salary notification issued by the Finance Division in July 2026 and to reconvene the consultative process involving all relevant stakeholders.
There are two types of faculty members in public-sector universities - BPS scale and TTS faculty.
“APTTA welcomed the federal cabinet’s recognition of the longstanding issue of TTS faculty salaries and the revision of salary scales with effect from July 1, 2026. However, the association maintains that the notified scales do not fully implement the prime minister’s decision of September 20, 2021, which stipulated that a 35pc differential between BPS and TTS faculty salaries should henceforth be maintained,” read a statement issued by the APTTA.
It said the Senate standing committee had also asked the finance ministry to review the 2026 notification. The statement said a few months ago during the committee proceedings, Minister of State for Finance Bilal Azhar Kayani pledged to look into APTTA’s concerns and pursue the matter with the relevant stakeholders.
