2,000 to 3,000 teachers will be retired by the Punjab School Education Department as part of a revamped strategy that emphasizes early retirement.
According to sources on Friday, instructors who have completed matriculation would be given preference for this type of retirement. The choice to voluntarily retire has also been made available to educators up to the age of fifty. All teachers in this age range have had their data requested by the department.
