Punjab Announces 30,000 Jobs for Teachers

By Arsalan Khattak | Published Mar 22, 2024 | 3:25 pm

The Punjab government has taken a significant step to address the shortage of teaching staff by announcing the recruitment of 30,000 visiting teachers for schools in the first phase.

The School Education Department (SED) in the province is grappling with a shortage of 115,000 teachers. The last major recruitment of schoolteachers occurred in 2018 under the PML-N government.

During the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s tenure, approximately 400 to 500 appointments were made, primarily in two districts: Murree and Mianwali.

The PTI government introduced a hiring process similar to that of the Punjab Public Service Commission (PPSC).

The PTI government also introduced College Teaching Interns (CTIs) to fill the vacancies in colleges and the current administration was also advised to continue this initiative to address the shortage. Recent graduates were eligible to apply for CTI positions, receiving a monthly salary of Rs25,000.

According to SED sources, the current government is considering hiring 30,000 schoolteachers on a visiting basis. They will be paid based on the number of lectures delivered.

The government plans to allocate extra funds to school councils to cover the salaries of visiting teachers. Furthermore, the councils will be responsible for generating funds to address other school expenses.

Rana Liaqat, the General Secretary of the Punjab Teachers Union (PTU), urged the government to begin permanent recruitment in the school department to address the shortage of teachers.

According to him, the only viable solution to address the teaching staff shortage is to recruit teachers on a permanent basis. The PTU General Secretary expressed his concerns regarding the problems hiring visiting teachers would create for schools.

  • اس ملک میں ٹیچرز توکیا ہر شعبہ زندگی سے تعلق رکھنے والوں نےاس ملک کے ساتھ مل جل کر جو کیا ھے اسکے زمیدار ٹیچرز بھی ہیں ۔آپ لوگوں نے بہت سےگورنمنٹ سکول ٹیچر زکو دیکھا ہوگا کہ وہ اپنی مرضی سے آتے ہیں اور سکول آکر اپنے اپنے کاروبار کو فروغ دینے لگ جاتےہیں ۔جسکے اثرات نمایاں ہوکر نئی well educated نسل پرآۓ ہیں ۔
    گورنمنٹ کیلئے میری زاتی رائے ہے تمام گورنمنٹ جاب اور دوسری بے شمار سبسڈی وغیرہ ہراس شخص کیلئے ہو جو پڑھا لکھا بھی ہو اور اسکی کوئی جاگیر وغیرہ بھی نا ھو اس سے وسائل کی منصفانہ تقسیم پربھی اثرات نمایاں ہوں گے ۔اور ملکی اداروں میں بھی فرعونیت کا کچھ عرصے میں ختمہ ہو گا۔

  • All qualified teachers should learn online teaching skills and earn thru online teaching/tutoring from comfort & convenience of home

  • In any society, teachers r back bone to develop the Human resources and skilled personnals. If they are on contract, must be given good salaries n some benefits like medical n housing etc. Also teachers should be properly trained before hiring for initiative output to students. This should be the only department where merit be placed at top.
    I will also recommend that for afternoon shift retired employees like Engineers, vocational trainer should be given chance to teach upto 10th class. They will also take less salary to spend their time at good place and cause.
