AJK teacher recruitment is back in focus, and the government is also planning a digital attendance system for schools. The Azad Jammu and Kashmir government said it wants to fill empty teaching jobs and bring attendance online across its classrooms. The plan came out of a Friday meeting led by Engineer Umair Naeem Advocate, the education minister, where officials also reviewed school monitoring and administrative changes.
What the government has ordered
The education information system, known as EMIS, will begin by placing the attendance app in 50 primary schools in every district, with 15 days allowed for that first step. The government's longer target is to cover every educational institution in AJK by March 2027.
The department has also been told to bring all 1,900 biometric attendance devices already installed to full working order within seven days. It must also put the attendance app into 200 more schools straight away.
How AJK teacher recruitment will proceed
The meeting reviewed vacant posts for senior general line and science teachers, headmasters, computer instructors and subject specialists. Officials have been asked to pin down the vacancies and the quotas attached to each post before the posts are sent to PSC, the Public Service Commission, which handles government recruitment.
Recruitment under departmental quotas is to be sped up under the rules that already exist. No total for the number of vacant posts was given in the announcement, so the size of the gap is not yet clear.
Separately, the education minister voiced worry over the Class IX results of the earlier academic session. He asked the inquiry committee on the matter to give its advice without delay. The 15-day and seven-day deadlines are the nearest milestones, and parents and teachers will be watching whether they are met.
Aasan alfaaz mein
AJK government ne schools mein digital attendance system lagane aur khali teaching posts bharne ka elan kiya hai. Pehle har district ki 50 primary schools mein attendance app 15 din ke andar lagaya jayega, aur March 2027 tak poore AJK ke taleemi idaaron tak yeh nizam pohanchna hai. Teacher bharti ke liye pehle khali posts aur quotas ki nishandahi hogi, phir posts Public Service Commission ko bheji jayengi. Aam logon ke liye iska matlab hai ke school ki haazri ka record zyada wazeh ho sakta hai, lekin abhi bharti ki tadad ya dates ka elan nahi hua.
