School Education Department Grants Promotion Rights from PST to EST for Associate Degree Holders

Islamabad:Thousands of teachers holding associate degrees have secured the right to progress from Primary School Teacher (PST) to Elementary School Teacher (EST). The School Education Department has issued a clarification notification in this regard.

Previously, teachers with associate degrees were not eligible for promotion and had retired in the same grade in which they were initially hired. Now, all such cases will be included under the purview of the Departmental Promotion Committee (DPC).

The new notification from the School Education Department clarifies the promotion policy, ensuring that teachers with associate degrees can advance from PST to EST positions. This move aims to provide equal opportunities for career progression within the education sector.
