GSTA: The Government Secondary Teachers Association at a meeting held here on Monday criticised the Sindh government for imposing ban on teachers’ associations and resolved to resist the ban. Zamir Khan presided over the meeting.
The meeting said that the motive behind the ban was to hide government’s own malpractices as favourites of the government had been appointed in the education department in utter disregard of merit and the quota system.
It said that the other motive was to nationalise education institutions without any resistance from teachers.
It accused bureaucracy of destroying the entire education system and demanded that the notification about banning teachers’ and employees’ associations should be withdrawn.
