PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province government has planned to send teachers holding administrative positions in the provincial secretariat back to their schools and colleges.
The officials said yesterday that many teachers had long been serving in the secretariats of different departments, especially those of the elementary and secondary education department and higher education department, though the government schools and colleges they belonged to were short of teaching staff.
They also said many teachers were associated with different projects of donors agencies away from their educational institutions.
The officials said the chief minister had directed the establishment department to gradually send all teachers holding administrative posts in the provincial secretariat back to their schools and colleges.
They said the secretariat was also told to appoint officers of provincial management service (PMS) and Pakistan administrative service (PAS) previously called district and management group to the administrative posts to be vacated by teachers.
The officials said currently, the elementary and secondary education department lacked 14,000 teachers and the higher education department around 1,150 teachers.
