Clarification Pending: Sindh Govt Issues Final Reminder on BPS-16 Upgradation of Teaching Cadre:
The School Education & Literacy Department (SELD), Government of Sindh, has issued Reminder-II for urgent submission of details regarding the promotion/upgradation of teachers initially appointed in BPS-09 and currently running in BPS-14 and BPS-16. This includes OTs (Oriental Teachers), DTs (Drawing Teachers), PETs (Physical Education Teachers), SLTs (Senior Language Teachers), and WIs (Workshop Instructors).
Despite an earlier letter issued on 10th March 2025 and the first reminder on 14th April 2025, the required information from the regional directors of Karachi, Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Shaheed Benazirabad, Sukkur, and Larkana is still pending. The department has emphasized the urgency of submitting the data in the prescribed format to enable the Finance Department to process necessary scale adjustments and decisions as per government rules and policies.
The delay is causing hurdles in finalizing salary revisions and career growth benefits for thousands of teachers across Sindh. Please find notification:

Sindh Govt Pushes for Data to Finalize Upgradation for OT, DT, PET & Other Cadre Teachers:
The clock is ticking for the Directorates of School Education across Sindh, as the School Education Department has issued its second reminder to expedite submission of cadre-wise data of OT, DT, PET, SLT, and WI teachers. The matter concerns long-pending salary scale upgrades for those initially appointed in BPS-09 but currently working in BPS-14 or already promoted to BPS-16.
Without timely and accurate data, thousands of teachers remain in administrative limbo, awaiting confirmation of financial and service benefits. This delay affects not just the educators but also the overall functionality of the provincial education workforce. The government has now tied the matter to necessary action from the Finance Department, highlighting its importance in fiscal planning and policy execution.
This notification reflects the Sindh government’s seriousness in addressing pay disparities and upgradation challenges within the education sector. Authorities are urged to treat this as a top-priority issue, ensuring transparency and swift compliance.
