Big Announcement for Teachers: Transfers, Allowances, Upgradation & More! 🎉
Great news for teachers across Punjab! The Education Department has just released a series of major updates that will directly benefit teachers and improve their professional growth and well-being. These new measures reflect the government’s commitment to empowering educators and recognizing their contributions.
Let’s break down the key highlights:
1️⃣ Teacher Transfers Open from August 22
Teachers who have been waiting for transfers can now apply starting August 22. This will allow educators to move closer to their families and work in a more convenient environment.
2️⃣ Opportunity for Surplus Teachers
Surplus teachers will get another chance to be adjusted so they can continue contributing to the education sector instead of sitting idle.
3️⃣ Mutual Transfers Re-Opened
Mutual transfers have also been opened again, allowing teachers to swap postings with colleagues for mutual benefit.
4️⃣ Teaching Allowance on Teachers’ Day
In a historic move, the government will give teachers a Teaching Allowance of at least PKR 5,000 on Teachers’ Day — a well-deserved recognition of their service.
5️⃣ Upgradation of MA/MSc Teachers
From January 2026, all teachers holding MA/MSc degrees will be upgraded to Scale 16, which means better pay and recognition for their qualifications.
6️⃣ Scooters for Female Teachers
Female teachers under the age of 45 years will receive scooters to make commuting easier and safer — a huge step toward women empowerment.
7️⃣ Focus on Female Teachers’ Empowerment
Under the vision of Ms. Maryam Nawaz Sharif, the priority is to support and empower female teachers as much as possible.
8️⃣ Teaching Allowance Linked to Licensing
Teachers who successfully pass the licensing test and obtain a Teaching License will be eligible for additional teaching allowance.
9️⃣ Deputation for High Performers
Teachers showing outstanding performance will be given opportunities to go on deputation, gaining exposure and professional growth.
🔟 New Hiring (Non-Regular) Next Year
The department will hire more teachers next year, but they will not be regular employees.
1️⃣1️⃣ Support for Teachers Affected by Floods
Teachers whose homes were destroyed in the floods will receive PKR 500,000 per room for reconstruction support.
Final Word
Education Minister Rana Sikandar Hayat has called these initiatives a “game-changer” for the teaching community. His statement, “I am a soldier of education,” reflects his commitment to making teachers feel valued and supported.
