MULTAN, Dec 20: The new pay scale formulated by the government should be revised as it offer nothing much to low scale teachers.

This was demanded by local Punjab Teachers’ Union (PTU) president Rana Aslam Saghar in a meeting here on Thursday.

The PTU chief said the organizations should be informed about the fate of teachers who might not succeed in the examination following refresher courses.

He said the teachers were concerned about refresher courses. He urged the authorities concerned to formulate service rules for the elementary English teachers and to grant selection grade and promotion to the deserving teachers at the secondary school level.

It was demanded in a resolution that the authority to appoint and transfer teachers should rest with the education officers and not with district Nazims.

The meeting also demanded that true representatives of teachers should be given preference in educational committees to yield better results.
