🎓 A long-overdue win for Pakistan’s academic community.
University professors on the Tenure Track System had been working on frozen salaries since 2021, in the middle of rising inflation. The result? A growing risk of brain drain as top researchers and PhD holders look abroad.
Federal Minister Prof. Ahsan Iqbal took direct notice, constituting a Special Task Force to recommend competitive, market-aligned pay scales for top-tier faculty.
The recommendations have been approved.
This move reflects a clear policy conviction: you cannot build a knowledge economy without investing in those who build knowledge.
Under PM Shehbaz Sharif’s quality education vision, every rupee spent on education is an investment in Pakistan’s future.

@PlanComPakistan A Professor can understand the issues of academia, a university teacher has a single source of earnings and that is his salary. He doesn't run academies or business
Grateful to @betterpakistan for tireless advocacy. Make budgetary increase meaningful with 66% for all cadres and reduce brain drain. #ShukriaAhsanIqbal
Heartfelt thanks to @betterpakistan for championing TTS salaries. Budgetary increase must deliver 66% hike for all cadres to curb brain drain. #ShukriaAhsanIqbal
@betterpakistan has shown relentless support for TTS faculty. Link budgetary increase to salaries and approve 66% for all cadres now to stop brain drain. #ShukriaAhsanIqbal
Thank you @betterpakistan for your tireless efforts in raising the TTS Salary Issue. Demand budgetary increase linked to salaries with 66% for all cadres to reduce brain drain. #ShukriaAhsanIqbal
@81ShahbazRana Thank you for highlighting the issue of TTS salary. The TTS faculty is not given pension, no medical facility, no earned leave, no leave encashment
