KARACHI, April 2: Sindh Minister for Education Irfanullah Khan Marwat has said that a divisional promotion committee will soon be constituted to grant promotion to 400 subject specialist teachers.

Talking to a delegation of the Sindh Professors and Lecturers’ Association, Larkana district, here on Wednesday, the minister said increment would also be given to teachers with BEd and MEd degrees. He said the government was taking special measures to solve teachers’ problems.

President of the SPLA, Gul Hussein Mir Jat, informed the minister that many schools, whose sanctioned number of employees (SNE) was not approved, were functioning and facing shortage of teachers and laboratories. Mr Marwat said no school would be operated without an approved SNE.

The government is making efforts to provide all facilities in the existing schools instead of opening new ones, so that students could get better education, he added.—PPI
