For the first time in the history of the Department, public school teachers have been provided the facility to apply for transfer via the convenience of their mobile phones, making the process simpler, efficient and transparent for all. Teachers have online access to individual transfer applications, score calculation formula, wait-lists, sanctioned posts at each school, as well as designation/post-based transfer eligibility. The e-Transfer system also has built-in checks, that encourage teachers to apply for posts where there are teacher shortages, and inhibits transfers to public schools that have surplus teachers, based on student-teacher ratios. This highly configurable platform and has been developed in collaboration with the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB). The response to the e-Transfer system has been overwhelming. A total of 32,231 applicants applied for within-district transfers this year, contesting for 20,162 posts. In all, applicants submitted over 82,000 transfer preferences.
Electronic transfer orders with QR-codes have been automatically generated via the e-Transfer system for almost 18,000 applicants, after detailed document verification of successful applicants, by District Education Authorities. Teachers receive a copy of their transfer orders on their mobile phones. Chairing an event in this regard, Minister, School Education, Dr. Murad Raas, said that the e-Transfer system is a transformative initiative by the Government, to tackle process inefficiencies associated with the outdated, overburdened, and unsustainable traditional mechanisms that are delay-prone, and highly dependent on officials. The Minister congratulated School Education Department for taking this initiative. The event was attended by Secretary, School Education, and key officials from School Education Department and the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB).For the first time in the history of the Department, public school teachers have been provided the facility to apply for transfer via the convenience of their mobile phones, making the process simpler, efficient and transparent for all.
