Peshawar Education Reforms: Recruitments in Two WeeksPakistan
Peshawar’s Education Department has ordered reforms, directing officials to complete all pending recruitments within two weeks and report progress weekly.

Peshawar — The Education Department has ordered clear and immediate changes across all of its offices, launching a package of major decisions aimed at improving the education system and making the department’s administrative performance more transparent.
According to the department, the reforms are part of a wider effort to improve public facilities and the delivery of services to citizens. Officials have been told that the changes must be visible in practice, not confined to paperwork, and that the performance of every office will now be watched more closely.
Recruitments to finish within two weeks
The most urgent instruction concerns recruitment. Officials have been directed to complete all remaining recruitment processes in the department within the next two weeks in any case. To keep the work on track, weekly progress reports will be submitted so that the pace of recruitment can be reviewed regularly.
The two-week deadline applies to every recruitment process still pending in the department. The weekly reporting is intended to make sure delays are spotted early and addressed before they grow into longer backlogs.
Development projects and the GGRM timeline
The department has also decided to revise the timelines of activities under the GGRM project and prepare a new schedule, so that the development process can move faster. The review is meant to remove bottlenecks and bring the project’s work back on a quicker timetable.
In a separate decision, the department’s ongoing and completed development projects will be highlighted in the media so that information about them reaches the public. Responsibility for effective publicity of the projects has been given to the Communication Specialist.
Private schools and outsourcing
Two further meetings have been ordered. One meeting will consider matters related to the Private Schools Regulatory Authority, while another will finalise matters concerning the outsourcing of government schools. Both subjects will be taken up separately so that each receives detailed attention.
The government has stated its resolve to provide better education facilities to the public and to bring fast and transparent improvement in the department’s performance. Officials say the reforms announced in Peshawar are the first step in that direction, with progress to be measured through the weekly reports now required.
