The Government of Punjab has launched a stringent crackdown on absentee teachers, particularly those neglecting their examination duties, under the Punjab Employees Efficiency, Discipline, and Accountability (PEDA) Act. The move underscores the administration’s commitment to enforcing discipline and ensuring accountability in the education sector.

Punjab Education Minister has issued clear directives to the concerned authorities, instructing them to implement a zero-tolerance policy against teachers failing to fulfill their examination responsibilities. In a decisive step, the minister has called for immediate reports listing staff members who have been absent from their assigned duties.

Emphasizing strict adherence to service regulations, the minister has reiterated that no government teacher is allowed to refuse examination duties. Any violation of this mandate will result in severe disciplinary actions, including penalties under the PEDA Act.

The government’s crackdown aims to enhance the efficiency of the province’s education system and ensure that examination processes remain uninterrupted. Authorities are expected to monitor compliance closely and take swift action against violators.

This latest development reflects Punjab’s broader efforts to reinforce accountability and professionalism within its public education framework, setting a precedent for stringent oversight of government employees.
