The ministerial committee was informed that the regularization process had been delayed due to various reasons.
However, Education Minister Arshad Ayub Khan congratulated the teachers on their regularization and stated that the present government had taken this positive step for the welfare of these teachers, as it was their rightful entitlement.
He further stated that final approval for the teachers’ regularization would be obtained from the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provincial cabinet. It is noteworthy that approximately 14,000 male and female teachers from different districts of the province will benefit from this approval.
