Official Ban on Private Tutoring During Work Hours

In a decisive move, the Secretary of College Education, Asif Akram, has officially prohibited government college teachers in Sindh from engaging in private tutoring or teaching at coaching centers during working hours.

The decision comes after reports that some teachers have been neglecting their duties at government institutions to focus on private coaching, leading to declining student attendance and a compromised learning environment.

Ethical Concerns and Teacher Accountability

The directive categorically states that using government time for personal financial benefits is unacceptable. Teachers are reminded of their responsibility to prioritize their official roles and provide students with the education they deserve.

Monitoring and Enforcement

Principals have been instructed to closely monitor teacher attendance and ensure that classes are conducted without fail. Any teacher violating this policy will face strict disciplinary action under the Sindh Civil Servants (Efficiency and Discipline) Rules, 1973. Principals failing to enforce compliance will also be held accountable for lapses.

Aiming for Educational Excellence

This initiative is part of a broader effort by the Sindh Education Department to elevate the standards of public education. By eliminating private tutoring during work hours, the department seeks to foster a more dedicated and focused teaching environment for students in government institutions.
