Teachers’ protest continues in Islamabad as there is no breakthrough in talks yet
Academic activities remained suspended in all government educational institutions of the federal capital for the second day in a row on Thursday due to ongoing protest against the transfer of administrative control of the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE) to Islamabad Metropolitan Corporation (MCI).
All teaching and non-teaching staff of educational institutions staged a protest demonstration whereas students remained at their homes as school vans and buses did not run.
The strike was observed on the call of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) — a teacher’s representative body — and will also continue on Thursday, during which the protesters have planned marching from the National Press Club to the Parliament House, where a sit-in will be staged.
