RAWALPINDI, Nov 13: The government has shown its indifference to the protest movement started by the teachers and professors against the proposed educational reforms.

Months have passed since the movement started, but, the government has so far given no response to the protests.

On the other hand, the representative bodies of teachers and professors, the Punjab Professors and Lecturers Association and College-School Teachers Alliance, have announced that they will continue their protest movement till the proposed boards of governors were withdrawn.

Apart from the occasional demonstrations and marches on roads, the teachers and professors have been regularly boycotting classes for more than a month. Earlier, they boycotted classes two days a week, which had now been reduced to one class daily after 11am.

The change in the programme has been made on the directions of the central joint action committee of our association, a PPLA leader said.
