SWABI, March 22: Around 110 posts of Urdu and Pushto teachers have been lying vacant in the public sector higher secondary schools of the province for a long time creating problems both for teachers and students. This was stated by President Pervez Khan and General Secretary Shujaat Khan of the Subject Specialists Association in a press release issued here on Tuesday.

?It has been a long-standing demand of the association that vacant posts of Urdu and Pushto subject specialists should be filled through Public Service Commission (PSC)?, they said and added that the government, however, had failed to give ?green signal? to the PSC.

The office-bearers of the association said the new academic year would start from April 1 and it was the right time to appoint new teachers on vacant posts.

They demanded of the government that intermediate classes should be shifted to higher secondary schools from colleges and science laboratories in schools be refurbish to cater to needs of the students.

They said the issue was raised by the association on a number of occasions and each time they were assured by the government officials to resolve it but the bureaucracy never fulfilled its pledges.
