The Sindh Education Department has prepared a new policy to address staffing imbalances in government schools, proposing a golden handshake scheme for surplus teachers and introducing administrative reforms in recruitment procedures.
Under the proposed policy, teachers identified as surplus in schools with more staff than required based on student enrollment may be offered voluntary early retirement through a golden handshake program.
Sindh Education Minister Sardar Shah said the exact number of teachers and students would become clear after the completion of a facial recognition-based verification process.
He said that once surplus staff are identified, affected teachers would have the option to accept a voluntary golden handshake package and retire early.
The proposed measures are part of wider efforts to rationalize staffing levels across educational institutions and improve resource allocation within the department.
The education minister also announced plans to transfer recruitment powers for lower-grade staff to school headmasters. Under the proposal, headmasters would be authorized to hire support staff, including watchmen, gardeners and office attendants.
According to Sardar Shah, the education department has continued to carry the burden of excess recruitment carried out in the past. He said reducing the number of surplus employees and teachers could help ease pressure on the department’s budget.
Officials believe the reforms will help create a better balance between staffing levels and student enrollment while improving administrative efficiency in government schools across Sindh.
