Four-Year Delay: Teachers Demand Exam Duty Payments from FDE
Teachers across Islamabad are raising concerns over a four-year delay in receiving payments for exam duties assigned by the Federal Directorate of Education (FDE). Educators who have been actively involved in supervising, invigilating, and coordinating examinations say that despite repeated requests, the FDE has yet to release the pending payments, causing financial strain and dissatisfaction among teaching staff.
The teachers’ associations have issued formal notices demanding immediate disbursement of dues, emphasizing that exam duty payments are a vital part of their compensation. Many teachers highlighted that the prolonged delay has affected their morale and undermined confidence in the administrative system. They have urged the FDE to implement transparent and timely payment mechanisms to avoid such issues in the future.
FDE officials acknowledged the delay, citing administrative and budgetary challenges, but assured teachers that measures are being taken to expedite the payment process. They also committed to reviewing procedural inefficiencies to ensure timely compensation for exam duties going forward. Education experts noted that prompt payment is essential not only for teacher welfare but also for maintaining the smooth functioning of the examination system.
The situation has sparked broader discussions about accountability and financial management within educational institutions. Teachers have threatened to escalate protests and demand intervention from higher authorities if payments are not processed promptly.
