KARACHI: Eligible candidates for the post of teachers staged a protest outside the Karachi Press Club on Monday ag
ainst the excessive delay in their ap
pointments by the Sindh Education Department.
The protestors, carrying banners and placards, chanted slogans, like ‘stop killing merit’ ag
ainst the Sindh Education Department and demanded issuance of the ap
pointment orders.
This protest was organised by the qualified candidates for the post of the he
admasters and headmistress. The Sindh Education Department had to recruit head teachers through a transparent testing system, but it has failed to issue the ap
pointment letters to 1080 candidates who had cleared the written test and interview.
A report regarding the ap
pointments of 1080 he
admasters/mistress was also mailed to the World Bank in May 2016. The protestors asked Sindh PPP’s chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chief Minister (CM) Sindh
Syed Murad Ali Shah and education minister Sindh Jam Mehtab Dahr to issue the ap
pointment orders to the eligible candida
tes as the new academic year has began.
They also said that they will hold demonstration outside the CM House if ap
pointment orders are not issued soon.
