It has come to light that many teachers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) have not received their salaries for several years. A report detailing this situation has been submitted to the provincial assembly, highlighting a serious issue affecting educators in the region.

According to the report, there are two main groups of teachers affected:

• 389 teachers from the Elementary and Secondary Education Foundation have not been paid for the past three years.
• 727 teachers from the same foundation have not received their salaries for the past year.

This problem is attributed to a financial crisis faced by the province. The Education Department has explained that KP has been struggling with a lack of funds. Specifically, the province has not released a total of 450 million rupees over the past three years, which has led to the inability to pay these teachers.(ARY News - KP Teachers Salaries)

This situation underscores a significant challenge in managing and funding education in KP, affecting the livelihoods of many educators who are crucial to the education system.(Dawn News Report on KP Teachers)
