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.
