Pindi DEA to promote primary school teachers

The Rawalpindi district education authority (DEA) has decided to promote primary school teachers (PSTs) under the 50 per cent in service promotion quota, a spokesperson stated.

The DEA will promote all teachers holding MA, MSc, BSc, BEd and MEd degrees and who were performing regular service until July 31 to elementary school teachers, he added.

For this purpose, a fivemember committee has been formed to examine the seniority lists at the district level. Senior Headmaster Ziaullah Abbasi will head the panel.

The meeting of the district promotional committee will be called once scrutiny of the seniority lists is completed, the official maintained. The report of the committee will process around 700 PSTs for promotion, he added.
