The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training granted the Higher Time Scale (HTS) to the teachers during a departmental promotion committee meeting on Friday. The promotion landscape for teachers witnessed a notable transformation.
The committee convened to deliberate on granting a Higher Time Scale (HTS) to teachers in the BPS-18 to BPS-20 range, and a total of 509 time scale cases were meticulously reviewed and discussed. Among the notable outcomes was that 14 teachers in BPS-20 were granted the HTS of BPS-21. Among them were three male and four female professors of BPS-20 from federal government colleges. In contrast, model colleges saw two male and two female professors of BPS-20 achieve the coveted BPS-21 status. Additionally, from the school side, two male and one female principal were granted HTS for BPS-21.
The impact of the decisions reached in the meeting extended to teachers in BPS-19, with 138 individuals successfully attaining HTS in BPS-21. A notable grant of HTS included 23 male and 25 female Associate Professors from Federal Government Colleges, 22 male and 29 female Associate Professors from Model Colleges, and 8 Deputy Headmistresses from Model Colleges, all upgraded to BPS-20 (HTS). Similarly, 12 male and 19 female principals from the school side were elevated to BPS-20 (HTS). Furthermore, 357 teachers in BPS-18 saw progress in their careers as they were granted HTS in BPS-19.
This included 36 male and 36 female Associate Professors from Federal Government Colleges and 34 male and 36 female Assistant Professors from Model Colleges. Moreover, 40 assistant headmistresses from model colleges and 83 male and 92 female vice principals from schools also received HTS for BPS-19. Acknowledging the significance of these promotions, the President of the Federal Government College Teachers Association (FGCTA), Dr. Rahima Rehman, speaking to APP, conveyed heartfelt congratulations to the honored teachers.
