Notification / OM No. No.DD(M)/Misc/2025 Dated 06-March-2025 Notification Issued By: Monitoring Wing, School Education Department, Government Of The Punjab Punjab Government Prioritizes Education, Exempts Teachers from Ramadan Bazaar Duties: The Punjab Government’s School Education Department (SED) has issued a crucial notification addressing the exemption of teaching staff and Assistant Education Officers (AEOs) from administrative duties at Ramadan Bazaars. This decision comes in response to concerns that assigning teachers to non-educational tasks is affecting their primary role—ensuring quality education. With SSC Exams 2025 underway and a renewed focus on improving Punjab’s education standards, the government has taken a firm stand to keep educators dedicated to academic responsibilities. The notification emphasizes: ✅ No teaching staff or AEOs will be assigned Ramadan Bazaar duties✅ Teachers must focus on examination duties and classroom learning✅ Strict compliance is expected at all administrative levels This directive ensures that teachers remain committed to their primary task—enhancing the learning experience for students across Punjab. Notification Describes; MOST IMPORTANT No.DD(M)/Misc/2025GOVERNMENT OF THE PUNJABSCHOOL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT(MONITORING WING)Dated Lahore 06th March, 2025 To All the Deputy CommissionersPunjab SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR EXEMPTION OF TEACHING STAFF/AEOs FROM DUTIES AT RAMADAN BAZARS Kindly refer to the subject cited above. 2. I am directed to inform that it has come to the notice of Competent Authority that some teaching staff members/Assistant Education Officers (AEOS) have been assigned duties to carry out administrative tasks at Ramadan Bazaars. This assignment is significantly hindering their ability to fulfill their primary responsibilities as educators. Additionally, teachers are already occupied with examination duties for SSC, 2025. Moreover, the Government of Punjab is placing a special emphasis on the School Education Department to enhance the quality of education for children and it is vital that teachers are allowed to focus on their academic responsibilities, particularly during this period. 3. I am further directed to request you that teaching staff/AEOs may be exempted from duties at Ramadan Bazars and also directions may kindly be issued at all levels for strict compliance. DEPUTY DIRECTOR (MONITORING) Ensuring Quality Education: A Step Towards Better Learning in Punjab: The Punjab Government’s decision to exempt teachers and AEOs from Ramadan Bazaar duties reflects a progressive step in improving education standards. This move acknowledges the importance of allowing educators to focus on teaching rather than administrative tasks unrelated to their field. 🔹 Why This Decision Matters: By reinforcing strict compliance, the Punjab Government ensures that schools function effectively without unnecessary interruptions.
