The plight of retired teachers was highlighted in a web report titled, ‘Forgotten Heros; Islamabad’s Retired Teachers Await Their Pending Dues’ which appeared on 15th May, 2023. It was learnt that a large number of teachers who retied during the last two years remained deprived of their lawful post retirement entitlements due to acute shortage of funds. The pending amount totalled around Rupees 2.6 Billion.

Taking notice of this huge financial pendency and dire condition of the affectees, Wafaqi Mohtasib has directed the Finance Division to allocate necessary funds for the purpose in the upcoming budget. He has also instructed the Federal Directorate of Education, Islamabad to disburse the same to the retired teachers without undue delay.
