CADD to begin process of regularising FDE daily wagers

Islamabad

The Capital Administration and Development Division (CADD) has finally decided to begin the process to regularise the services of the Federal Directorate of Education daily-wage employees, mostly teachers.

The development emerged during a meeting between the representatives of the daily wagers and relevant CADD officials, including the secretary, additional secretary, and FDE director general and directors concerned here on Friday.

The participants decided that the daily wagers holding fake degrees and less than the required qualification won’t be considered for regularisation.

They agreed that all those FDE daily-wage employees getting salary from the AGPR would be considered for service regularisation.

The participants decided that there would be a complete ban on fresh recruitment of daily wage employees and the principals violating it would be dealt with strictly.

The CADD secretary directed the FDE officials concerned to produce a summary of daily wagers of all categories.

While issuing the ultimatum, the Senate standing committee on Cabinet Secretariat on last Tuesday had summoned the top bureaucrats concerned on May 24 with a policy on the regularisation of services of these daily-wagers.

It had warned if the directions were not complied with, then its members would table a bill in the house for the purpose and get it approved to ensure regularisation of services of the daily wage employees in question by the government.

Currently, the FDE overseen by the CADD has 1,000 daily-wage staff members, both teaching and non-teaching, at its educational institutions in the Islamabad Capital Territory.

An official in the know said daily wagers would be adjusted to vacant posts on seniority basis, while the remaining would be offered the posts, which were among the 2,300 ones promised by the CADD minister on several forums.
