PESHAWAR, Mar 31 (APP):Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister for Elementary and Secondary Education, Arshad Ayub Khan formally inaugurated the E-Transfer Policy Plus in Peshawar on Tuesday.
On this occasion, Secretary Elementary and Secondary Education Muhammad Khalid, Special Secretary Iftikhar Ali Khan, Additional Secretaries Hayatullah Khan and Muhammad Saleh Khan, Director Elementary and Secondary Education Naumana Sardar, Director IT Salahuddin Khan, and other officials were also present.
During the briefing, the Provincial Minister was informed that under the E-Transfer Policy Plus 2026, transfers will be carried out for the teaching cadre (including manual and vacant-post transfers), tenure-based transfers for the education management cadre, and tenure-based transfers for the ministerial cadre.
It was further explained that specific scoring criteria and parameters have been set for this policy, including: Duration of service at the current school, student-teacher ratio, Consideration for persons with disabilities, widows, domicile, higher educational qualifications, annual results of SSC/HSSC and overall student attendance ratio.
This E-Transfer Policy Plus will provide better transfer facilities to employees associated with the education department.
Speaking at the occasion, the Provincial Minister stated that the provincial government has taken a historic step by introducing a successful E-Transfer Policy Plus, ensuring both teachers’ preferences and merit-based policy.
He added that it is the manifesto of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf to ensure merit-based transfers and governance. He further said that the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Sohail Afridi, is also prioritizing the education department and is committed to eliminating non-merit-based postings and transfers.
The Minister emphasized that teachers are highly respected and belong to a noble profession. Previously, teachers had to rely on recommendations for transfers, but the current government has eliminated the culture of favoritism.
He said that the introduction of the E-Transfer system will yield positive results, improve academic performance in schools, and enhance students’ learning outcomes.
He also highlighted that teachers’ welfare is as important as students’ future. In the past, teachers faced difficulties regarding transfers, but now they can apply for postings and transfers through a mobile app from their homes based on their rights.
The Provincial Minister concluded that further improvements will be made in the E-Transfer Policy Plus, enabling the government to achieve its educational goals effectively.
