In order to ensure that there will never be a teacher shortage in the province’s public schools, the Gilgit-Baltistan (GB) govt disclosed on Wednesday it is going to hire 4,000 teachers over the course of six months.
The first meeting of the Steering Committee for Education Reforms was presided over by Chief Minister (CM) Khalid Khurshid.
The committee was established to carry out educational reforms in the GB to make sure that boys and girls have equal access to educational opportunities.
The committee also decided to revoke all “attachments,” which are teachers who are employed or working in other departments. They must return to their designated stations as soon as is reasonably possible.
In related news, the education minister for the British Virgin Islands, Raja Muhammad Azam Khan, has said that the province’s educational institutions that have been damaged by recent natural disasters will be rebuilt first.
Earlier this week, while on an official visit to a number of educational institutions in Hunza, he made the aforementioned announcement in a press conference.\
Minister Khan emphasized that the department of education is giving extra focus to finishing up ongoing development projects by the end of June this year.
He went to schools and spoke with administrators and teachers.
He made a commitment to address the genuine difficulties teachers were having as soon as possible.
