flag 20,000 Punjab teachers unpaid for 3 months, risking education for 600,000 students.

flag About 20,000 teachers in Punjab, Pakistan, have not been paid for three months, affecting 4,300 schools and threatening education for nearly 600,000 students. flag Unpaid salaries for January, February, and March have caused financial strain, prompting fears of teacher departures and possible protests before Eid. flag While PEIMA says January payments were released and February disbursements are expected in five to seven days, the delay stems from pending subsidies to partner schools. flag Meanwhile, the Punjab government has allocated Rs3.271 billion to support government schools, with funds to be distributed to districts within two days to cover salaries and operations.
