EST teachers posted in educational institutions across the country, administered by the Federal Government Educational Institutions Cantonments Garrisons Directorate, demand from Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif to upgrade in Grade 16.
According to the details, Elementary School Teachers (EST) of 355 educational institutions under the FGEI Cantt Garrison Directorate across the country have demanded to upgrade the Elementary School Teachers from Grade 14 to Grade 16. It has been demanded that teachers who have not been promoted for years should be promoted.
According to the teachers, along with the upgrade in Grade 16, three to five additional annual increments should be given to EST teachers and the same facility should be given to all TGT and SST teachers as well as honorary teachers who have also been asked to increase the honorarium.
Teachers said that the formula developed by the Federal Government Educational Institutions Cantt Garrison Directorate for the promotion and induction of EST teachers is 25% teacher development and 75% recruitment of new teachers based on gross abuse and injustice.
Due to which thousands of teachers have been waiting for promotion for the last 16 years while recruitment of new teachers is going on every year. According to the teachers, FGEIs Directorate has not promoted EST teachers since 2007. By the year 2022, hundreds of new teachers have been recruited, thus depriving thousands of teachers of their basic rights.
