The department confirmed that Google Maps will be used to calculate the distance between the current and new school postings. This digital verification aims to eliminate manual errors and ensure transparency and accuracy during the transfer process.

Deployment of Surplus Teachers

Under the new policy, surplus teachers—those serving in schools with excess staff—will be reassigned to nearby schools experiencing teacher shortages. The process will help balance staffing levels, ensuring every school has adequate teachers to meet student needs.

All District Education Authorities (DEAs) have been officially informed about these updated rules and are expected to begin implementing the policy soon. According to departmental sources, the transfer process is likely to commence after October 21, 2025.

Purpose of the Rationalization Policy

The primary goal of this initiative is to maintain an equitable teacher-student ratio and enhance the quality of education throughout Punjab. The rationalization drive will help the government utilize resources efficiently, improve learning outcomes, and reduce administrative disparities between urban and rural schools.
