Punjab Makes an announcement Thousands of School Education Department Job Openings
Description:
The Punjab government has resolved to hire thousands of educators for all public schools run by the School Education Department (SED).
The decision was made to address the province"s critical shortage of educators. The move is also part of the province"s attempts to combat unemployment.

The Punjab Teachers Union (PTU) requested last month that the recently elected Punjab government enhance the salaries of teaching and non-teaching personnel at all public sector schools and institutions by 50%.
Chaudhry Sarfraz, Central President of the PTU, stated that teaching and non-teaching personnel are the backbone of the education system, but they are suffering owing to poor wages in the face of crushing inflation.
