|June 03, 2025
Government school educators in Pakistan-occupied Gilgit-Baltistan (PoGB) persisted with their class boycott and staged a protest sit-in for the sixth consecutive day, urging authorities to address their single-point demand for long-awaited promotions, as reported by Dawn.
Academic activities have come to a halt at government schools throughout PoGB since last week, as thousands of educators declared they would only end their protest once their singular request is met.
For the past five days, teachers have held demonstrations and rallies outside education department offices in Hunza, Nagar, Astore, Skardu, Diamer, Ghanche, Shigar, Kharmang, and Ghizer.
On Friday, teachers from these regions marched toward Gilgit and joined the protest sit-in outside the PoGB Directorate of Education in Gilgit, the regional headquarters where the minister's office is located, according to Dawn.
