Punjab’s School Education Department has launched a new recruitment drive for School Teacher Interns (STI) for government schools, offering monthly stipends ranging from Rs. 38,000 to Rs. 45,000. The program is aimed at providing temporary teaching support across primary, elementary, high, and higher secondary levels.
Eligible candidates, both male and female, must be between 21 and 45 years old and hold the required academic qualifications for the school level they wish to apply for. The department has set different academic requirements for each level, with primary and elementary positions requiring a BA or BSc, and high and higher secondary positions demanding an MA, MSc, or BS (Honours) in the relevant subject.
Preference is given to candidates who hold a B.Ed or M.Ed alongside their academic qualifications. However, this preference does not replace the academic requirements listed for each teaching level. The internship period is fixed from November 3, 2026, to May 31, 2027, and does not lead to permanent appointments.
Applicants can apply through the official STI portal at sti.pesrp.edu.pk. The process involves registering using a CNIC and a password for new applicants, or signing in with existing credentials for returning users. Profiles must be updated with the required information before applying for a placement that matches their credentials.
The application deadline is October 18, 2026, at 11:59 pm. Selected interns will receive a certificate upon completion of their placement. The department has detailed the schedule for merit lists, objections, interviews, and agreements on the portal, ensuring transparency in the selection process.
The program aims to provide temporary teaching support to government schools, offering a stipend of Rs. 38,000 for primary positions, Rs. 40,000 for elementary positions, and Rs. 45,000 for high and higher secondary positions. This initiative is part of the broader efforts to enhance the quality of education in Punjab’s schools.
For more information, candidates can visit the official STI portal at sti.pesrp.edu.pk or contact the School Education Department for further details. The portal also provides a comprehensive guide for applicants, ensuring a smooth application process.
