The government finally decided to recruit 28,000 candidates waiting on a panel as assistant teachers in newly nationalised primary schools.

The Directorate of Primary Education (DPE) yesterday issued notice to all district primary education officers and authorities concerned to take steps to appoint the candidates as assistant teachers at the primary schools, which were nationalised in 2013, sources said.

According to yesterday's order, the candidates can be appointed in the newly created posts in around 23,000 newly nationalised schools alongside the vacant posts.

The government decided to recruit them to the posts in line with a Supreme Court directive.
