The Punjab government has approved the summary for the hiring of thousands of non-teaching staff members in public sector educational institutes all over the province.
Taking to Twitter in this regard, Punjab Education Minister, Dr. Murad Raas, penned that the summary for the recruitment of over 11,000 jobs (BS-1 to BS-4) in the School Education Department (SED) has been approved.
This Summary has been approved. The process should be starting in the coming days. I am taking care of the other Summaries as well. Just be a little patient. CM @ChParvezElahi & myself are on your your side, be absolutely clear about it. https://t.co/fXTml13bwW

The Minister revealed that the hiring process will be initiated in the coming days, and he is taking care of other similar summaries related to the provincial education sector that have already been initiated.
Last month, the provincial government announced these jobs. This was the third major education-related development by the provincial government within a week.
Initially, the Punjab government had decided to regularize thousands of teachers in public sector educational institutes. The Education Ministry had forwarded the summary to make 14,000 government teachers permanent.
It was followed by another summary for the recruitment of thousands of educators. The Ministry had sent the summary to hire over 16,000 educators in public sector educational institutes.

Please refrain from the Indian caste-based quota system. Hire from outside the province if you must. Graduates from Karachi can dramatically increase the literacy rate in the province and the standard of education, generally. Most of them would gladly oblige as the competition is too high in the city and most of them rely on migration or low-paying jobs, irrelevant to their education, to feed their families. Worse yet, they resort to crime, feeling that the system was unjust, so they must take it out on the world. There are, of course, financial compulsions too. Sindh’s provincial quota system is wasting away precious talent that Punjab, which has evolved into a highly urbanized province with a rapidly growing economy, can hugely benefit from. Of course, being from Karachi isn’t the only prerequisite or criteria. The testing system and screening process must be on merit. The standard of living in Punjab’s villages and smaller cities is likely to be superior to many lower middle class neighborhoods in Karachi. Not only would there be more physical space but since three cities are built on top of one, because of land encroachment, they would have access to more resources, including cheaper energy in Punjab. They would have a higher disposable income as their purchasing power would also increase. Punjabi villages and smaller cities are at least 10x cheaper to live in, and government salaries would improve their financial conditions even more. Job security and ability to grow professionally would be a very significant factor to attract talent, as well. If Sindh doesn’t want them, let it be their loss. As it already is.
