Around 200 special education teachers on Friday held a demonstration against the government for not regularising their services in front of the Parliament House. The protesters while holding placards and shouting anti-government slogans asked the government to stop their economic murder. They were of the view if the government could permanent the employees of the ODGCL and Railways why it was refraining to regularise the special education teachers. They said after the devolution of the Education Ministry to the provinces, neither the federal nor any provincial government wanted to accept them. They asked the government to stop the economic murder of poor teachers. They also expressed their fear that the government might terminate them from their services because it did not issue extension notices yet to them. “If the government had any plan to extend our services, it would have issued extension notices one month earlier,” Haseeb a protester told Pakistan Today. He said some of their colleagues, who were serving in Sindh after devolution of the Education Ministry, had been terminated from their services, adding, “We are passing our day and nights under a threat of unemployment”. “We can only serve in this field as we are expertise in teaching special children” he added. The protesters said the SC had issued a verdict, stating “It will be the responsibility of the government to regularise the services of that employee who served for more then three year in a basic pay scale”.
