Fazal Muhammad Mashal, a headmaster of a public school who participated in the protest, stated that the previous government had assured primary school teachers that they would be upgraded from July 1. The teachers have made significant sacrifices in their profession.

He further explained that previously, primary school teachers used to retire in the same grade they were initially recruited. However, with this upgradation, they would also be promoted, and they would receive additional benefits even after retirement. He advocated for primary school headmasters to be given the 16th scale and teachers to be given the 15th scale.

Fazal Muhammad Mashal emphasized that hundreds of thousands of teachers across the province, including female teachers, are demanding the upgradation. If their demands are not met, hundreds of thousands of teachers will be compelled to protest in the red zone.
