FISE Solidarity Message with the Grand Teachers Alliance, GTA, of Pakistan.
FISE, the World Federation of Teachers Union, an affiliated member of WFTU, supports the protests and demands of the Grand Teachers Alliance (GTA) of Pakistan.
We stand by the Pakistani teachers who oppose the privatization handover to the NGOs, expressing concerns about its impact on education quality and job security. The ongoing teacher transfer round has been described as chaotic and mentally exhausting for educators. Teachers are concerned that these new experiments will destroy the education system, so they are left with no choice but to protest for their rights and for the future of education in the province.
We call on the Punjab government to immediately satisfy the just demands of the teachers and to withdraw any decisions that would privatize education sectors.
We denounce the transformation of education into a commodity.
We support the free and public education for all.
