Subject :PROMOTION OF PST AS EST IN SCHOOL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

            I am directed to refer to the subject cited above.
2.              I am further directed to state that complaints are being received from teachers that for promotion against the post of Elementary School Teachers , Seniority Lists are not being prepared in accordance with Punjab School Education Department (School Education) Service Rules 2014.
3.                   In some of the districts , seniority lists for promotion against the Post os ESTs are prepared separately for category of EST(Science),EST(Math),EST(Urdu),EST(English) and EST(General) and in some districts two seniority lists are prepared i.e. one for EST(Science-Math) and one for EST (Arts). This discrimination has created an awkward situation in the Districts and also unrest amongst the Teachers.

i. 50% by initial recruitment.

                 a. 60% for the posts of EST(Arts) and
          b. 40% for the posts of EST(Science-Math) from amongst Primary School Teachers (PST)
