Demanding the reopening of schools and release of salaries to the teachers recruited in 2012, the Government Secondary Teachers Association (GSTA) on Monday announced a symbolic hunger strike at the Karachi Press Club on December 30.
The association has also accused the provincial government of deliberately destroying the education system in the state-run schools in the name of the Covid-19 pandemic. âThe PPP government kept the children of Sindh away from schools under the pretext of Covid-19 to cover up its failure while holding political meetings itself,â GSTA Central President Maqsood Mehmood Mahesar said in the statement issued on Monday.
