QUETTA -- The Balochistan government decided to make recruitment of teachers at union council level, Education Department Official said on Friday.

Statement of Education Department said that Chief Minister Balochistan Mir Abdul Quddus Bizenjo and Chief Secretary Balochistan Abdul Aziz Aqeeli took important decision for the improvement of education in the province, he added.

In order to ensure transparency, the chief minister instructed to make the process of hiring teachers online.

He deplored that, if we talk about Pakistan, then the most backward and less literate province of Pakistan was Balochistan.

Likewise, when it comes to primary and middle schools, thousands of schools were non-functional, he added.

Due to the lack of teachers, the quality of education in Balochistan was not as per the SDGs, although there were many other problems including resources, vast geography and conditions.

"Shortage of teachers is the main reason," he said adding that to meet the shortage, the Balochistan government decided to recruit teachers at the Union Council level for the first time.
