The committee recommended that the post of primary school teacher (PST) be upgraded from BS-9 to BS-14 with graduation in second division set as qualification threshold for the post.

While PSTs will remain posted at primary schools through their service, a service structure will be created for their career progression instead of promoting them to the post of JESTs/HSTs/SSTs.
