Punjab’s School Education Department (SED) has revoked the results of promotion exams of hundreds of Headmasters after they were caught cheating red-handed.
According to details, SED’s Chief Adviser Curriculum Wing has canceled the results of 650 Headmasters on account of using illicit means to clear the promotion exams.
After a comprehensive investigation, Chief Adviser Curriculum Wing found the officials of the Provincial Institute for Teacher Education (PITE) guilty of negligence in ensuring fairness in the promotion exams.
The probe held two Deputy Directors, a Director, and three other officers responsible for the incident. Chief Adviser Curriculum Wing has ordered these officers to appear before Secretary SED, Ghulam Akbar Leghari, on 11 January.
In a separate development, last month, the Punjab government had decided to hire around 25,000 teachers against vacant posts in government schools across the province.
The decision was taken by Chief Minister (CM) Punjab, during the meeting of the provincial cabinet. The decision was taken on the special request of Nobel Laureate, Malala Yousafzai.

hahaha…..
Nobel Laureate Mala Yousafzai requested Punjab govt. to appoint teachers against the 25000 vacancies, which was ‘graciously’ granted by the concerned authorities, but then headmasters’ cheating scandal in the promotion exam makes this exercise ‘useless’ if it ultimately leads to such ‘headmasters’.
Cheaters must be ban for 10 years to sit in any exam plus fired from the current positions.
