Balochistan is going to hire nine thousand teachers.

Mir Sarfaraz Bugti, the chief minister of Balochistan, has announced the hiring of 9,000 contract teachers in an effort to raise the calibre of education in the province’s government-run institutions.

Speaking at a news conference held at the CM Secretariat, Bugti stressed that the recruiting process would be based on the results, which were prepared by Sardar Bahadur Khan Women’s University.

He made it clear that all of the posts will be contractual in nature rather than permanent, in line with the administration’s overall policy preferences.

The chief minister declared, “My government will not compromise on education. It is the top priority.” Other ministers, like Ali Madad Jattak and Mir Zahoor Buledi, were also there.

“I personally want to hire people on contract in Balochistan’s health and education departments,” Bugti said. He expressed his belief that the proposed strategy will infuse the system with much-needed flexibility and change.

He added that a committee made up of senior officers with good reputations would be constituted to interview candidates in order to guarantee impartiality and openness.

The Prime Minister emphasised the government’s resolve to increase student enrollment and teacher presence in classrooms.

Additionally, Bugti disclosed that attempts were being made to work with Punjab in order to raise Balochistan’s educational benchmarks.

The choice to hire instructors on a contract basis hasn’t been without controversy, either, as applicants who were hoping for regular appointments have voiced their disapproval of the new posts’ contractual structure.

Demonstrations followed, with many claiming that contract positions were less benefit-rich and offered less job security than permanent positions. But Bugti hasn’t wavered in the face of opposition, saying that the contractual model would assist meet short-term personnel needs while allowing for future revisions.

The recruiting push is a part of a larger plan to raise Balochstan’s educational standards, which aims to guarantee that the province has enough competent teachers on hand to deliver high-quality instruction and, as a result, increase literacy and educational outcomes.

As a result, notwithstanding their controversy, the government’s proactive initiatives do appear to represent a significant step towards regional educational reform.

In an effort to provide employment opportunities for the educated youth of the province, Mir Sarfaraz Bugti ordered earlier this month that the 92 veterinary doctors who are currently seeking positions in the livestock department be advertised. This came after a representative delegation from the Balochistan Veterinary Doctors Association informed him in a meeting about the association’s current challenges, including a shortage of jobs.

Muhammad Tayyab Lehri, the livestock secretary, and Shakeel Qadir Khan, the chief secretary of Balochistan, were also present at the meeting.

At the time, the Chief Minister had announced that interest-free loans under a soft loan plan would be given to veterinarians in Balochistan. This would allow the medical professionals to open their own clinics and offer doorstep services to livestock owners.
