MNA EXPRESSES CONCERN OVER POSTING OF FEMALE TEACHER: PML-N MNA Ghulam Bibi Bharwana on Friday expressed concern over posting of a female teacher at a male government school in her constituency NA-88.

In her written recommendation letter No 4463/Admin, MNA Ghulam Bibi Bharwana asked the EDO Education to personally examine the proposal of transfer of MSc (IT) female schoolteacher to the Government Boys Primary School, Dhanowala, Tehsil Jhang, whereas a male teacher was already posted at the school, which had a very less number of students. The MNA said that clerical staff of the Education Department would not be allowed to misinterpret latest transfer policy of teachers in the district. She said that departmental record of teachers was in the custody of the Education Department offices but hundreds of teachers were wandering to collect their service record from different offices. She said that lower grade female schoolteachers should be posted in the schools of their respective union councils and residential rural areas. She said that she was informed that some clerical staff was misinterpreting the transfer policy of the Education Department in the district and she would informed the Punjab CM about the situation. When contacted, EDO Education Nasim Ahmed Zahid said that the recommendations and observation of the MNA about transfer of female teachers of her constituency had been received in his office and appropriate action would be taken in this regard.
