In another development today, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) decided to conduct ability tests of candidates for the positions of college teachers through Public Service Commission.

The progress was made after the KP government announced to recruit 1,900 educators in colleges across the province. Earlier, KPPSC had been decided to recruit the teachers through academic numbers which led the candidates’ protests against the decision.

After revising its decision, KPPSC issued a notification for conducting ability tests for the candidates of positions for college teachers.
