The recruitment of thousands of teachers in public schools across Punjab is hanging in the balance as the provincial government had canceled the expression of interest (EOI) for their recruitment.
According to a notification dated January 12, 2023, the Punjab School Education Department (SED) has canceled the EOI regarding the recruitment of a management company to conduct candidate tests for the recruitment of teachers.
In the notification, SED’s Section Officer (SO) Recruitment stated that the EOI advertised on 26th November 2022 for the subject mentioned above has been canceled by SED.
SED canceled the EOI under Rule 35 of PPRA Rules 2014 due to increasing number of posts for teachers. SO Recruitment also sought fresh proposals in response to the upcoming advertisement in the future.
In June 2022, the then Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N)-led government of Punjab announced thousands of teacher jobs in all SED-run public sector schools.
Former Punjab Education Minister Rana Mashood Ahmed Khan had said that the provincial government would hire more than 16,000 teachers. He added that 230,000 teachers were recruited during the previous tenure of PML-N from 2013 to 2018.
