Ahsan Iqbal chairs meeting to reform pay scales in higher education sector

Pakistan's top education official wants to shake up teacher pay across the country. Federal Minister Ahsan Iqbal called his sixth meeting about fixing salary problems at public universities. The government team talked about making teacher wages match what other countries offer their professors. Education leaders from different provinces joined the discussion about money troubles. Officials want to stop losing good teachers to better-paying jobs overseas.

Higher Education Commission experts shared bad news about university finances. Many schools struggle to keep talented professors because they cannot afford decent salaries. Teachers often leave Pakistan for universities that pay much more money. The current system makes it hard for schools to compete with private companies. Students suffer when experienced faculty members quit their jobs.

Iqbal pushed his team to find new ways universities can make money. He suggested partnerships between government schools and private businesses might help solve budget problems. Universities could use their buildings and resources to earn extra cash. The minister wants schools to copy successful money-making ideas from other countries. Creative funding could help pay teachers what they deserve.

The education commission must write a detailed report about teacher turnover problems. Officials need to identify exactly where the current pay system fails. They must suggest realistic changes that fit Pakistan's budget limits. The report should show how many professors leave each year. Better salaries could improve education quality and research programs nationwide.
