LAHORE: The School Education Department has officially banned government school teachers from working at private academies and tuition centres. This decision comes after poor results in recent board examinations.
According to a private TV channel, thousands of government teachers teach at academies during evening hours. Some even run their own private schools and coaching centres. The department stated that this practice is not only a violation of teachers’ core responsibilities but also harms the standards of professionalism and honesty in public education.
The official notice revealed that some teachers were found teaching privately even during school hours, which is a clear breach of the code of conduct. The department emphasized that a government teacher’s first duty is to provide quality education to students in their assigned schools.
