PESHAWAR: The All Primary Teachers Association Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has announced staging sit-in in Peshawar on November 5.

There will also be a complete strike from November 5 and schools will be closed.

The provincial president of the Apta, Aziz ullah, has said that no primary school in the province would remain open until their demands were met and that too in a written form. He said that instead of issuing threats of departmental actions and jails, the primary teachers should be given their legitimate and legal rights.

The Apta president said the basic scale of primary teachers in Punjab, Sindh, Gilgit-Baltistan and Islamabad is 14 and they are promoted up to grade 17.
