Key Directives for CEOs and DEAs

The School Education Department has issued the following instructions for CEOs and DEAs to ensure smooth execution of the surplus teacher transfer process:

• Correction of Rejected Status: CEOs who have mistakenly rejected surplus teachers’ preferences on the SIS portal (accessible at sis.pesrp.edu.pk) can revert these to approved status during the three-hour window on August 6, 2025. This is a one-time opportunity to rectify errors.
• No Changes to Preferences: Requests to modify submitted preferences by surplus teachers will not be entertained under any circumstances. CEOs are urged to refrain from making such requests.
• Limited Portal Access: The SIS portal will be open for only three hours on August 6, 2025, with the exact time to be announced on August 5, 2025. CEOs must act promptly within this timeframe.
• CEO Accountability: Any errors persisting after this correction window will hold the concerned CEO solely responsible. No excuses will be accepted.
• Mandatory Transfers: All surplus teachers from over-staffed schools must be transferred to under-staffed schools. The surplus label will remain until student enrollment increases significantly.
• Immediate Action Post-Correction: After processing approved cases, approximately 16,500 surplus teachers will be transferred to under-staffed schools based on need, effective immediately after the issuance of orders.
