Summary For Recruitment of 32000 Teachers Seeking CM Permission
LAHORE: THE School Education Department Punjab has prepared a summary for the chief minister seeking permission for recruitment of over 32,000 school teachers, it is learnt.
Sources said the recruitment would meet teachers’ shortage. They said the recruitment process was yet to be finalized; however, there were rumours that National Testing Service (NTS) would be engaged to ensure fast track recruitments.
A senior official of the department denied any possibility of involving NTS in the recruitment process. He said tuition centres and some publishers were behind rumours to create confusion and take advantage of the situation.
The official said most of the recruitments would be of science and mathematics teachers, these teachers would be posted even at primary schools across the province to uplift the standard of education, he added.
Meanwhile, Senior Staff Association (SSA) of Punjab government schools also claimed that Secretary Schools in a meeting said that no decision has so far been taken about NTS nor any date was fixed for the recruitment of new teachers.
