KHYBER: The district chapter of Young Teachers Association has demanded of government to regularise the services of those teachers, who were appointed in 2022.

Addressing a press conference at Landi Kotal Press Club on Sunday, YTA ditrict president Mubarak Shah Afridi said that young teachers were guarantors of the future of the young generation and denial of their due rights was a criminal neglect on part of provincial government.

Elaborating his association five-point demand list, he said that YTA was against the abolition of pension for teachers recruited before June 2022, implementation of contributory provident fund (CP fund), ad-hoc appointment of senior science teachers (SST) and deduction of Retirement Benefits and Death Compensation (RB & DC) and wanted regularisation of ad-hoc teachers appointed in 2022.

He said that YTA also rejected inclusion of teachers appointed nine years ago in Government Provident (GP) fund while abolishing their pension.

Mr Afridi demanded of the provincial government to sympathetically look into their demands and resolve their issues at the earliest as the current situation pushed towards an uncertain future.
