Sir: A teacher plays a vital role to develop a nation, but in Pakistan, teachers and education are not honoured nowadays. Presently, when any judge retired, he gets Rs 50-million as gratuity and seven lakhs as pension per month. But when any teacher retires, he gets only one million rupees as gratuity and 20 thousands rupees as pension per month. It’s mean judge is worthy than teacher. That’s why we are very far behind nation in the world. If we want to build Pakistan, then we must facilitate teachers. SAMEER UMRANI Karachi
