University professors call on HEC to address key issues facing Tenure Track Teachers

ISLAMABAD: The All Pakistan Tenure Track Association (APTTA) convened a crucial meeting in Islamabad, where they issued a stern call to the Chairman Higher Education Commission (HEC) to address the pressing challenges encountered by Tenure Track Teachers (TTS) across the country. Tenure Track Teachers, who play a pivotal role in Pakistan’s higher education system, voiced their frustration over the absence of any salary increase in the past two years. The discriminatory publication policy of the Higher Education Journal Ranking System (HJRS) with regard to Tenure Track Teachers was another point of contention. APTTA, representing the collective voice of Tenure Track Teachers, categorically rejected any form of discrimination in the proposed TTS Version 3 and the publication policy of HJRS. This letter underscored the urgency of addressing the issues raised in the meeting and called for swift action to alleviate the grievances of Tenure Track Teachers.
