FAISALABAD: The secondary school educators (SSEs) and assistant education officers (AEOs) of Faisalabad district have announced launching a protest drive against the Punjab government from January 15 for not regularising them.
In a statement here on Thursday, the Union of Educators office-bearers said that SSEs and AEOs were recruited on temporary basis after passing the NTS test in 2019, but their confirmation in the permanent cadre was now being denied by the education authorities.
