Punjab School Education Department has fixed Rs8,000 monthly allowance for caregivers of 5,000 schools across the province, reported 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday.
Now caregivers will get Rs8,000 on a monthly salary basis.
The department has fixed the allowance after receiving hundreds of complaints.
The department said that caregivers' salaries will be given from the non-salary budget and in case of unavailability of NSB then it will be given via Faroogh-e-Taleem funds.
Also, the school education department is to take action against those school principals who would delay or not provide the fixed amount to the caregivers.
