Welcome Address
Meeting & Consultation with AFT Officials at Karachi Cartyle Hotel
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Good Morning / Asalam-o-Alekum,
I feel it my bounden duty to Welcome you all with the core of my heart in this consultative meeting with AFT Officials about right of Freedom of Association and prevailing situation in Pakistan.

In this regard I would like to say that since the birth of Pakistan on the 14 August, 19747, we have been listening very much loud notes of democracy, but unfortunately we have been encountering confronting, contrasting ideals and thoughts in interpreting the democracy, even the so-called champions of democracy while in power or rather in action have been adopting undemocratic attitudes toward democratic units, institutions and associations.

Even now we may observe this tendency obviously in all the Govt. Servant Conduct Rules 1962, 1964 and 1991, which have been framed and promulgated by the different Govts. to conduct the activities of civil servants relating to professional duties and responsibilities and pertaining to the working of civil servants as a member of an Association. These Rules do allow Govt. Employees to form an Association but under some specific conditions and restrictions which are contrary to ILO conventions, 1998, 1997 and against the Right of freedom of Association.

Although the Govt. of Pakistan was one of the signatory of ILO Conventions 98, 87 and had ratified the conventions aforesaid in 1954 and constitution of Pakistan also provide right of FOA to employer & employees vide Articles 17 & 19. The Govt. Servants have been deprived with their legitimate right to form union in their respective organizations and to become collective. Bargaining Agents. In the absence of free, strong and democratic functioning Teachers’ Association the entire setup and infrastructure has been collapsed and damaged, as such many ills and evils have been crept in the Administration and schools’ system. Such ills are illegal gratification, Corruption, misuse of powers, centralization of powers nepotism, groupings and emerging out unlimited fake numerous Associations’.

It is an universal and proven fact that the remedy of these ills lying in the hands of free and democratic teachers’ associations or unions, which may play a vital role of check & balance in maintaining good administration and may also play a pivotal role in promoting quality education in the country, as it has been observed that where unions exist and work freely and democratically yield better results in maintaining good administration and quality education than those unions which have been deprived from the right of freedom of Association.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, I may take this opportunity to state that prior to 2004 many Teachers’ Associations were working at provincial level but there was no effective and democratically functional teachers’ organization at national level, it was way back in 2004 that with constant insistence of some Local Teachers’ Associations Leaders of Sindh province started this work in this segment of society. They realized that teachers’ had some loose organizations, un-familiar with trade union movement and its aims and objectives, the result was that these organization could not gain any thing or represent and tackle the teachers problems, so they formed a convening committee and interim executive board of teachers consortium of Pakistan and gave a wakeup call and started organizing teachers by extending invitation to the existing associations to become active under the banner of one national organization i.e. TCOP. For this purpose solidarity center was requested to provide technical and financial assistance for the benefits of teachers and thus make them conscious how to make teachers’ organization strong and effective nationally and what links they can have with teachers’ and workers’ organizations internationally. Our request has been accepted by the solidarity center and new efforts are underway for uniting the scattered associations of Pakistan and to provide them a common platform for gripping the main obstacles in the smooth running of an association and struggle against education regression in both quantity and quality and relegating democracy as well.

TCOP is very much thankful to solidarity center for its valuable support in organizing Teachers’ Association into a single democratic national organization of Pakistan.

TCOP is also obligatory to notable AFT officials for paying a terse visit to Pakistan to provide technical know-how and knowledge or rich experiences to teachers’ leaders in uniting the teachers’ associations which are working on local and provincial levels and to upgrade professional capacity to deal with professional matters effectively and skillfully.

In the last, thank you all for listening my submission patiently and attentively

Key Nnote Address
At the Occasion of Founding Convention December, 2007
Dear Councillors
Asalam-o-Alekum
Indeed I feel immense pleasure to avail this opportunity to deliver this key note address before honorable guests and TCOP Councilors.

It is 6 (six) years back the proposal to form TCOP was floated by Mr. Qindeel Shujaat then program officer of ACILS after that with the help of Mr. Greg. Schulze, Director of ACILS Islamabad and Mr. Immad Ashraf, Program officer the dream of formation of TCOP took the shape of reality. They carried on this proposal harmoniously with head and heart.

In February 2005, the TCOP convening committee entered in an agreement with ACILS Islamabad, who extended financial Assistance and cooperation for holding 16 consultations, which later on took place in all the four provinces of Pakistan.

The leaders of forty two teachers’ Association, working effectively and democratically in the Provinces took keen interest and warmly participated in these consultations.

I express my profound appreciation and thank to all the office hearers and leaders of all the organizations for devoting or this precious time taking part in all the events and consultations.

Now TCOP has completed its’ two years of struggle. In these year it made concerted efforts step by step to bring fragmented and scattered teachers’ Associations together under the shade of TCOP umbrella to achieve and safe guard the teachers’ rights, other then this TCOP Tried its best to establish its relation with struggling labor class and human rights activists and organizations such as PWF, WEBCOP, LHRLA and united for gender justice network, I am pleased to report here that we have been taking active part in their programs, seminars, workshops and demonstrations’ of any kind and have been extremely extending full cooperation to them in order to achieve their targeted aims, we have assisted in every positive struggle of teachers in Pakistan and have made demands to restore the legitimate teachers’ rights. We have dispatched pamphlets and letters to president, of Pakistan, Ministers’ Officials of ILO, EI and FES, officers of different Govt. Departments; containing demands of vital importance. We have also raised our voice for positive change in the interest of the teaching class and spoken for raising salaries as the dearness has shot-up. We have also been assuring Govts, and it’s officials that declining quality of education and falling standard of education is not teachers’ fault.

It is the administration wholly and soully responsible, where meritless appointments out of way promotions or postings and illegal gratification are at its peak these days. We have used different ways and means to convey Teachers’ problems to high Govt. Officials but they did not pay heed to our voice. Govt. inattentiveness towards eradication of these evil is very much surprising which claims it self democratic and problem solver, but all reverse to it.

We are determined to continue our efforts and hope that the day will come when they have to hear our voice at all.

Yester Year teachers of Sindh confronted with severe situation due to decision taken by Sindh Govt. for imposing Ban on Teachers’ Associations and suppressing their movement by police force. TCOP Affiliates lodged protest or demonstrated before press clubs, held press conferences and wrote many articles on the burning issue of Ban in all the provinces, but all efforts ended in a smoke as Sindh Govt. did not show flexibility in its attitude.

Teachers do not at all reconcile with the cold behavior, since this is absolutely in conflict with ILO conventions 98, 87, against the provision of Pakistan. Constitutions vide Article and Universal declaration of human rights vide Article _________.

TCOP strongly deplores this Anti-Govt. action and calls upon President, and Prime Minister of Pakistan to use their good office in withdrawing the Ban order.

It is me, who was held responsibility to organize a National Teachers’ Organization so I did, but not alone, others’ efforts were vital support on my back too, which succeeded me in my mission.

I am sincerely thankful to all those through whose cooperation. I have been successful in performance of the responsibilities laid down on my shoulder.

I specially thank Raja Zafeer Ahmed Sathi, Hafiz Abdul Nasir, Ghulam Nabi, Hafiz Mohiuddin Rana Altaf and Malik Sarwar from Punjab.

Turnabi, Musthaq Hussain Shah, Jaleel Afridi, Mrs. Rukhsana from NWFP.

Choudhri Muhammad Nawaz, Merajuddin Farooqi, Syed Muhammad Wazir Zaidi, Pervaiz Iqbal Arain, Mrs. Qaiser Jehan, Mrs. Zeshan Feroz, MMiss Tasneem-un-Nisa, Ghulam Rasool Rajpur, Habib-ur-Rehman from Sindh and Mr. Umer Shah, Niaz Biloch, Mrs. Maqsooda Kasi, from Balochistan, who devotedly worked for TCOP, and they very much cooperative with me all the time in organizing TCOP. I have no words to express for their devotion. I am obliged for their help, guidance and suggestions. I must not term it of my success all alone, it is the outcome of their sincere efforts; our collective endeavor has brought the TCOP to sound footing.

Here I would like to state that our task has not been finished as yet still we have to work hard and should go on with our work. We have to face striated circumstances and keep on our struggle against injustice done to teachers.

If we want ultimately our goals achieved, mere acquaintance will not do so, we have to strive hard and to be a visible active actor on the scene.

To day the changes are emerging very fast in the fields of culture, education economic and politics, we have to face these challenges with care, unity and diligence. One who does not go with time or tide is thrown back. We have to go hand in hand to achieve the goals. If we do not avail the chance now provided by TCOP. We will fail in our Mission. The boatman keeps the boat floating on the stormy sea, so we have to pass through striated circumstances and disastrous atmosphere very cautiously, intelligently and skillfully.

Fortune always favors the brave and diligent. Be united and work hard lest you would miss the train. We have illumed the candle of knowledge and infused new sprit in leadership and now it is up to the leaders to keep the candle glowing and uphold the name TCOP forever. We hope for good days to come and expect the bright future of TCOP.

Last but not least, I would like to express my profound gratitude to ACILS, whose technical and financial support made us possible to bring teachers’ Associations together under the shade of TCOP umbrella with out its’ help we could not continue our work for uniting the fragmented Teachers’ Organizations of Pakistan.

About Pakistan Women Teacher's Council
Formation of PWTC was the unique role of the TCOP. This idea was achieved in 2005 with Technical assistance, and support provided by ACILS Islamabad Centre.
The main object to organize lady Teachers was to bring them together on one platform, whereto they could struggle for their issues and problems to be solved through their own united efforts and to some extent could share in democratic process of the country. Since there are Male dominated Teachers’ Association in Pakistan and they have been struggling for general cause only, Although Female Teachers work with them, But they have some specific problems, which unconsciously have been left aside by the Male Dominated Associations. So the formation of Women Teachers Council was the need of the time. Now it stands on its sound footing and has its branches in all provinces of Pakistan.

5. They are all committed to raise the issue of freedom of Association among women teachers and are agreed to start membership campaign of PWTC in their respective provinces.
