Candidates recommended for assistant teacher positions in government primary schools held an Eid reunion program on May 30 across 61 districts, demanding immediate appointment. The recruitment process for 2025 was described as one of the most transparent, accurate, and merit-based in the country's history, involving rigorous screening and written and oral examinations. The recommended teachers are seeking confirmation of their appointment and joining before training.
In a written statement, the recommended teachers expressed concern over rumors suggesting that a significant number of appointed candidates might be excluded under the pretext of training. They asserted that the 2025 Recruitment Rules do not provide for the cancellation or extensive exclusion of appointments through training.
The final results of the recruitment were announced on February 8, with 14,384 candidates passing. Health checks (including dope tests) and verification of all documents were completed between February 22 and March 1. Although the rules stipulate immediate joining after this, the entire process has been stalled for two months. Meanwhile, police verification for the 14,384 finally selected candidates is ongoing. The government intends to issue appointment letters but will finalize their posting only after successful completion of PTI (Primary Teacher Training Center) training.
