Teachers to Boycott Matric Exams in Balochistan

The members of All Balochistan Employees and Workers Grand Alliance has announced to boycott the matriculation examinations starting on April 10 across the province.

This was announced by the President of the alliance, Haji Habib-ur-Rehman Mardanzai, who is a teacher himself.

The teachers and other government employees have been staging a sit-in since March 29, demanding a 25 percent increment in salaries for all Balochistan government employees.

However, Mardanzai confirmed that they would not take out any rally at the request of the Education Minister, Sardar Yar Muhammad Rind.

We are not afraid of these threats, suspensions, and reprisals. We will continue to uphold our rights. The government does not care about the province or the people.

He warned of a province-wide shutter down strike if the government fails to notify any salary increase for the workers.

Employees from all over Balochistan should come to Quetta from Wednesday. We will not disperse away without a notification.

Chief Minister Jam Kamal had also constituted a parliamentary committee to hold talks with the protestors, but the two parties failed to agree on any decision even after seven rounds of meetings. CM later clarified that many government departments have been receiving allowances since the Balochistan Awami Party came into power in 2018.
