The Punjab Education (Posting of Teachers in Disadvantages Area) Act, 2021

Education20218 sections

This Act regulates the posting of teachers in specific areas of Punjab known as Disadvantageous Areas, which include border districts and regions with high vacancy rates. It applies to all initial appointments of teachers and restricts their ability to request transfers during their probation period to ensure they serve in these areas. The government reviews these areas annually and uses a specific formula to calculate vacancies based on sanctioned posts and days of absence. The law aims to address teacher shortages in difficult locations by mandating that new appointees serve there before becoming eligible for transfer elsewhere.
