In a order to improve the quality of education, the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Education Department has announced that no teacher will be allowed to work in the province without a valid teaching license. This new policy aims to bring accountability, professional standards, and transparency to the education system.
The Elementary and Secondary Education Department will issue licenses to teachers under a new regulatory authority established with a budget of Rs200 million. The authority will define Terms of Reference (TORs) for the system, ensuring only qualified and trained teachers are permitted to teach.
