From Our Correspondent
JHANG: Teachers staged a demonstration against the proposed privatisation of schools outside the press club here on Friday.
The protesters led by Punjab Teachers Union (PTU) district leaders Ramzan Inqalabi and Anwar Jappa said that the government must stop privatisation of public schools. They said that the status of teachers would decline further after the privatisation of schools.
They said that provision of education was the responsibility of the state but the government was avoiding the responsibility by privatising schools in the province.
Meanwhile, talking to newsmen, the PTU leaders said that the Punjab government was allegedly selling schools to the NGOs through the Punjab Education Foundation (PEF). They said that the teachers would protest against the privatisation at all forums.
