Hundreds of daily-wage teaching and non-teaching staff in the federal capital are preparing to observe another World Teacher’s Day. The statement added that families of daily-wage teachers and non-teaching staff are on the verge of starvation and require urgent assistance. In a statement issued on World Teachers' Day, Amir said that the government - which has termed education their top priority - failed to organise any event to celebrate the day for teachers. Even under the dictatorships, the International Teachers' Day has been celebrated officially, he said, adding that it is unfortunate that in the current democratic era, a day for honouring teachers has been forgotten by the government. Further, teachers and non-teaching staff working on daily-wages in schools for extended periods should be regularised immediately.
