Initially a token pen down strike would be held on November 25, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to press for their demands, said General Secretary, Employees Welfare Association Education Board, Rawalpindi, Mehr Muhammad Akbar.
Mehr urged the Punjab government not to withdraw examination fee, registration fee and sports fee for matriculation students saying this would badly affect financial health of the education boards.
He suggested to the government to release grants to the educational institutions through the Education Department for paying examination fees, instead of abolishing them.
He also criticised the transfer of employees from one board to another, saying it is against the Board’s Act.
Mehr demanded 15% medical allowance increase on the pattern of Lahore and Faisalabad boards.
The grade-16 and 17 and daily wage employees should be regularised, while there should also be a formula to make new appointments, he demanded.
