Key Takeaways
- The Sindh Assembly’s Special Committee on Recruitment approved hiring over 8,000 Junior Science Teachers.

The Sindh Assembly’s Special Committee on Recruitment has given its approval for the hiring of more than 8,000 Junior Science Teachers (JSTs) across the province. This decision was made during a recent meeting of the committee and is aimed at filling vacant teaching positions in public schools through a merit-based selection process.
According to the committee’s decision, candidates who passed the IBA Sukkur recruitment test with at least 55 marks will be eligible for appointment as JSTs. The minimum passing score of 55 marks has also been retained for Early Childhood Teacher (ECT) recruitment, ensuring a consistent standard across different teaching roles.
In addition to approving the hiring process, officials have directed relevant authorities to issue offer letters to successful ECT candidates within the next 15 days. This move is expected to provide immediate relief to schools in need of qualified teachers for early childhood education.
The committee has also instructed that recruitment tests for additional teaching vacancies be held at the earliest possible date. This ensures a continuous flow of new teachers into the system, addressing the ongoing shortage of qualified educators in Sindh’s public school network.
The decision to approve these positions comes as part of an effort by the provincial government to enhance educational standards and ensure that students have access to quality teaching across the province. The merit-based approach is designed to attract the most capable candidates and improve overall academic performance.
While the focus on JSTs and ECTs highlights the importance of science education and early childhood development, it also underscores the broader commitment by the Sindh government to strengthen its educational infrastructure. This initiative is expected to have a positive impact on student outcomes and teacher satisfaction in public schools.
