The association highlighted the extensive inconveniences teachers have faced due to the program's implementation, noting significant changes and challenges in adapting to the new educational landscape.

NAGRAT emphasized that the government should delay the proposed bill to Parliament to allow for comprehensive consultations, ensuring mutual respect and acknowledgment of any legislation impacting education.

The association also urged Parliament's education committee to oppose the bill, calling for thorough scrutiny and rejection to protect the interests of the education sector and the broader community.
