Reforms in School Education Department Punjab

School Education Punjab is the second biggest department of Pakistan having more than half a million employees teaching around 12 million students in 52,487 government schools of Punjab. Catering such a huge number of employees is a task for sure. Under the supervision of Imran Khan's led PTI government in Punjab, SED has introduced the E-Transfer policy for the teachers working in the government schools of Punjab a few months ago. The historic launch of this online transfer policy has eliminated the corruption factor at large, the nuisance for the teachers who, in the past have to run from place to place to get them transferred from one school to another. But now, with the launch and implementation of E-Transfer policy, teachers can move online applications for their transfers while staying free of hassles.

The successful launch of this policy has also assured that all of the transfers must have to be done keeping the lines of merit in view. No special transfer requests from anyone can be catered after the policy being introduced. Two online transfer phases have already been completed successfully and almost all of the teachers have expressed satisfaction over the system being brought for them. As per the details, from May 2019 onwards, more than two hundred thousand teachers have logged onto the online transfer portal system and thousands of transfers have been done on merit to date.

According to the School Education Department Punjab, fifty to seventy thousand teachers apply for their transfers from one place to another on an annual basis. With the success of the E transfer policy, corruption worth billions has been barred. No government in the past has ever worked to ease the life of teachers in this way. In my very humble opinion, this is how you start to change, a system can never be changed or altered at once, it takes a lot of time but what matters is' are the measures being taken to improve and to excel.
