Islamabad, Aug 27: KARACHI: The Sindh education department has made the significant decision to fire instructors who have been vanishing from government schools in Karachi. The decision was reached, based on the details, to guarantee that ghost teachers do not receive compensation while also assisting in raising educational standards.
The District and Taluka Education Officers have been instructed by the Sindh Education Department to provide a final list of these instructors to the department within a span of two days.
The department claimed that these professors who have absconded have not gotten in touch with the appropriate officers despite numerous warnings.
The Education Department has previously received information about foreign-based teachers from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA). While some of these workers have presented fictitious medical certifications, others have been paid salary for years without showing up for work.
Together, the FIA and the surveillance cell of the Education Department were able to identify the employees who had absconded.
Eight ghost instructors in the province had earlier been fired by the Sindh education department.
According to Akbar Leghari, eight instructors who lived overseas had their jobs terminated. For the previous two years, the instructors who were fired from their positions were paid. The secretary went on to say that Taluka education officers are drawing attention to the phantom instructors all around the province.
Strict measures against the ghost teachers were threatened, the secretary said.
