Punjab Recruitment of Teachers Act, 1999

Punjab Recruitment of Teachers Act, 1999

This law governs the recruitment and service of teachers in Punjab, specifically those selected through specific advertisements issued in 1992, 1994, and 1996. It establishes the Director of Public Instructions (Schools) as the appointing authority for these positions. The Act defines who qualifies as a teacher under its scope and sets rules for their joining dates and seniority. It also repeals a previous ordinance from 1999 but ensures that any actions already taken under that ordinance remain valid. Essentially, it provides a legal framework to regularize the status and career progression of these specific teaching staff.
