The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Workers Welfare Board in Pakistan recently suspended 15 principals in various provinces after poor performance in the matriculation examinations, media reports said.
According to a September 4 notification seen by Dawn News, the suspensions were carried out “on account of producing poor results in SSC annual examinations 2024-2025”.
The suspended principals belonged to Akora Khattak, Aman Garh, Ghoriwala and Haripur-II regions in the South Asian country.
The principals of schools in Hattar, Karak, Kohat-I, and Kohat-II were also removed from their job.
“The vice principals of the concerned schools shall look after the duties of principal as [a] stopgap arrangement in their own pay scale till further orders,” the notification read as quoted by Dawn News.
“However, where the vice principals are not available, the seniormost employee (BPS-16/17)/acting vice principal shall look after the duties of principal as [a] stopgap arrangement in their own pay scale till further orders," the notification said.
KP Labour Minister Fazal Shakoor Khan told Dawn News that the suspension was solely based on the performance of the teachers.
‘’We have zero per cent results in the mentioned schools,’’ he said.
