Wafaqi Mohtasib Mr. Ejaz Ahmad Qureshi has taken cognizance of the nonpayment of post-retirement benefits to the retired teachers of the educational institutions operating under the Federal Directorate of Education, Islamabad. The plight of retired teachers was highlighted in a web report titled, ‘Forgotten Heroes; Islamabad’s Retired Teachers Await Their Pending Dues’ which appeared on 15th May, 2023. It was learnt that a large number of teachers who retired during the last two years remained deprived of their lawful post retirement entitlements due to acute shortage of funds. The pending amount totaled around Rupees 2.6 Billion. Taking notice of this huge financial pendency and dire condition of the affectees, Wafaqi Mohtasib has directed the Finance Division to allocate necessary funds for the purpose in the upcoming budget. He has also instructed the Federal Directorate of Education, Islamabad to disburse the same to the retired teachers without undue delay.
