A few days ago, the Sindh government started preparations to disburse salaries to newly recruited teachers and sought complete records from district education officers across the province.

The Accountant General of Sindh wrote a letter to the Sindh education department and sought records of the teachers from all district officers. The provincial authorities decided to disburse salaries to the newly recruited teachers.

The accountant general instructed the concerned officers to submit the documents of the new teachers including their joining reports. In 2021, 53,000 persons had appeared in the teacher’s recruitment tests and the joining process was completed in 2022.
