List of 200 ghost teache­rs-cum-journa­lists compil­ed by educat­ion deptKARACHI: Despite the Sindh High Court’s (SHC) orders, more than 500 government employees, especially teachers, are still working as journalists in violation of the Sindh Civil Servant (Conduct) Rules, 2008. They draw their salaries but don’t work as teachers,” said an official in the education department. “Pir Mazhar, as education minister, had submitted the district-wise list of these teachers to the Sindh Assembly in 2012. You will find many government employees in all departments working as journalists,” he said, adding that after a final report, his department will decide the fate of these people. On the other hand, the chief secretary issued on November 29 a notification and constituted divisional committees regarding complaints against teachers and other government servants who are working as journalists or performing duties in other departments.
