Punjab government to rectify salary gap for 180 ETT teachers

Punjab's state government announced that it will address the salary imbalance faced by 180 Education and Training Teachers (ETT). The teachers have been on a separate pay scale that offers lower remuneration compared to regular school staff, creating a noticeable disparity. Officials said a detailed review of the pay structure will be undertaken and appropriate adjustments will be made, although a specific timeline was not disclosed. The decision aims to boost morale among ETTs and help retain qualified personnel in the state's schools, especially in rural areas. Education department representatives welcomed the move, urging swift implementation to ensure fairness for the affected teachers.
