PESHAWAR, Dec 12 (APP):The provincial cabinet on Friday approved the e-transfer Policy 2025 for teachers in the Education Department.
Chief Minister Sohail Afridi said the new policy would reinforce merit and transparency.
He noted that the digital system was a long-needed reform that would allow teachers to focus on their primary responsibility, education, without administrative hurdles.
Afridi revealed that despite a province-wide ban on postings and transfers, more than 200 recommendations had been received but none were entertained, reiterating the government’s zero-tolerance approach to favoritism.
Under the newly approved e-transfer framework, key indicators including length of service at the current school, student-teacher ratio, and annual performance results will determine transfer eligibility.
Special consideration will be given to cases involving disability, widows, separation, and spouse placement.
The CM has directed all other provincial departments to introduce similar merit-based transfer and posting policies.
He emphasized that health and education remain the government’s top priorities, adding that improvement in these sectors is essential, as weak institutions directly impact the future and well-being of citizens.
Officials noted that recruitment through ETA is expected to improve testing standards, while the e-transfer policy will bring uniformity, reduce undue influence, and streamline teacher placement across the province.
The government has reaffirmed that the entire process both recruitment and transfers will be strictly monitored to ensure full adherence to merit.
