Punjab Eases Transfer Rules for Special Education Teachers

The Punjab government has updated its transfer policy for educators and professionals working in special education facilities, aiming to alleviate staffing shortages in Lahore. In this new rule, the mandatory three-year service period can be waived if there is only one candidate available for the open position. Similarly, the policy allows for the waiver of the tenure requirement if a vacancy has persisted for a minimum of six months, according to official records.

This adjustment was implemented following observations that certain roles remained unfilled despite qualified individuals being present, as they were unable to meet the three-year tenure criterion under the previous policy. The updated guidelines also stipulate that transfers will only occur for vacant positions and that securing a placement in a specific location does not constitute an employee's entitlement.

Moving forward, educators and relevant professionals will be able to file transfer requests via the e-portal during the summer and winter breaks.
