TEACHERS: The teachers’ leaders should urge their colleagues to perform their duties honestly.
This was stated by special education secretary Rai Ijaz Ali in a meeting with a delegation of SES Teachers’ Association on Wednesday.
He said it was a matter of concern that 18 per cent of the students dropped out before matriculation.
