Pakistan's Teacher Recruitment Ban Called Educational Sabotage

Pakistan's Teacher Recruitment Ban Called Educational Sabotage

In Pakistan, the government stopped hiring new teachers for over five years.

This caused big problems because many schools had only one teacher doing everything.

These teachers had to teach many classes, do paperwork, and keep the school running all by themselves.

Experts say this is not good for education and hurts children's learning.

Recently, some areas have started hiring teachers again, but it might take a long time to fix the damage done.

The ban was not about saving money but made the education crisis worse.

Many children suffered because of these bad decisions.
