Punjab Teacher Jobs Announce About 30,000 Vacancies: 

Punjab Govt Announces 30,000 Jobs for Teachers. The Punjab government has announced to recruit 30 thousand visiting teachers for schools in the first phase, taking an important step to meet the shortage of teaching staff.

The School Education Department (SED) in the province is facing a shortage of 115,000 teachers. The last major recruitment of school teachers was in 2018 under the Muslim League (N) government.

During the tenure of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf8, about 400 to 500 appointments were made, mainly in two districts: Murree and Makanwali.

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

The PTI government also introduced College Tachingo Interns (CTIZ) to fill up the vacant vacancies in colleges and advised the present administration to continue this initiative to meet the shortage. Recent graduates were eligible to apply for CTI posts earning a monthly salary of Rs 25,000.

According to SED sources, the current government is considering recruiting 30,000 school teachers on visiting basis. They will be paid based on the number of lectures.

پنجاب حکومت نے اساتذہ کے لیے 30 ہزار نوکریوں کا اعلان کر دیا۔

صوبے میں سکول ایجوکیشن ڈیپارٹمنٹ (SED) کو 115,000 اساتذہ کی کمی کا سامنا ہے۔ اسکول ٹیچرز کی آخری بڑی بھرتی 2018 میں مسلم لیگ (ن) کی حکومت میں ہوئی تھی۔

پاکستان تحریک انصاف کے دور میں، تقریباً 400 سے 500 تقرریاں ہوئیں، بنیادی طور پر دو اضلاع: مری اور میانوالی۔

پی ٹی آئی حکومت نے پنجاب پبلک سروس کمیشن (پی پی ایس سی) کی طرح ہی بھرتی کا عمل متعارف کرایا۔

پی ٹی آئی حکومت نے کالجوں میں خالی آسامیوں کو پُر کرنے کے لیے کالج ٹیچنگ انٹرنز (سی ٹی آئیز) بھی متعارف کروائے اور موجودہ انتظامیہ کو بھی اس کمی کو پورا کرنے کے لیے اس اقدام کو جاری رکھنے کا مشورہ دیا گیا۔ حالیہ گریجویٹس 25,000 روپے ماہانہ تنخواہ حاصل کرتے ہوئے CTI عہدوں کے لیے درخواست دینے کے اہل تھے۔

ایس ای ڈی ذرائع کے مطابق موجودہ حکومت 30,000 سکول ٹیچرز کو وزٹنگ کی بنیاد پر بھرتی کرنے پر غور کر رہی ہے۔ انہیں لیکچرز کی تعداد کی بنیاد پر ادائیگی کی جائے گی۔

حکومت سکول کونسلز کو اضافی فنڈز مختص کرنے کا ارادہ رکھتی ہے تاکہ آنے والے اساتذہ کی تنخواہوں کو پورا کیا جا سکے۔ مزید برآں، کونسلیں اسکول کے دیگر اخراجات کو پورا کرنے کے لیے فنڈز پیدا کرنے کی ذمہ دار ہوں گی۔

پنجاب ٹیچرز یونین (PTU) کے جنرل سیکرٹری رانا لیاقت نے حکومت پر زور دیا کہ وہ اساتذہ کی کمی کو پورا کرنے کے لیے محکمہ سکول میں مستقل بھرتی شروع کرے۔

ان کے مطابق تدریسی عملے کی کمی کو پورا کرنے کا واحد قابل عمل حل اساتذہ کو مستقل بنیادوں پر بھرتی کرنا ہے۔ پی ٹی یو کے جنرل سیکرٹری نے سکولوں میں آنے والے اساتذہ کی خدمات حاصل کرنے سے پیدا ہونے والے مسائل کے حوالے سے اپنے تحفظات کا اظہار کیا۔

Lahore: The Punjab government has decided to recruit 30 thousand visiting teachers in schools under the first phase to meet the shortage of teaching staff.

The School Education Department (SED) is facing a shortage of 115,000 teachers in the province. The last major recruitment of school teachers was done in 2018 during the PML-N government and around 400 to 500 appointments were made only in the two districts of Murree and Mianwali during the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf regime.

The PTI government also changed the recruitment process and made it mandatory to take an exam like PPSC.

College Teaching Interns (CTIs)

The PTI government also introduced College Teaching Interns (CTIs) to fill the vacancies in colleges and the present government was also advised to introduce CTIs to fill the shortage. Fresh graduates were allowed to apply for CTI posts and were paid Rs 25,000 per month.

However, SED sources said that the current government is trying to recruit 30,000 school teachers on visiting basis and they will be paid per lecture.

The government will release additional funds to the school councils for the salaries of visiting teachers and the councils will also generate funds to meet the expenditure requirements of the schools.

Punjab Teachers Union (PTU)

Punjab Teachers Union (PTU) General Secretary Rana Liaquat told Dawn that the government should start recruitment in the school department and appoint teachers on a permanent basis to meet the shortage.

He said that there is a shortage of about 115,000 school teachers in the province and this can only be met by recruiting teachers on a regular basis.

Daily Wage Model

He said that incoming teachers would be paid on a daily wage model and this would create additional problems for schools.

Punjab Government Policy

In 2022, the Punjab government had announced a policy to grant early retirement to all government school teachers above the age of 55 after 25 years of service.

Thousands of teachers had applied for early retirement but their applications were not considered under the new policy. The SED had rejected thousands of applications filed by school teachers for early retirement in the province.
