School Education Department lifts ban on teacher transfer
Teachers can now apply
The School Education Department has allowed eligible teachers to apply for transfers under the extreme hardship category.
The decision gives relief to teachers who have been waiting for an opportunity to request transfers because of difficult personal circumstances.
According to the newly announced schedule, teachers can submit their transfer applications from September 28 to October 8.
Teachers seeking transfers will have to complete the application process within the given period.
Scrutiny and objections
After the application deadline, the department will begin checking the submitted applications.
The scrutiny of applications is scheduled to be completed by October 16.
Teachers will also be given an opportunity to raise objections if they have concerns about the transfer process or the information submitted in an application.
According to the schedule, objections will be accepted until November 3.
The department has advised eligible teachers to carefully check their applications and supporting documents before submission.
Document verification
The next stage will involve verification of teachers’ documents.
The School Education Department has set November 20 as the deadline for completing document verification.
This step will be important before final transfer orders are issued.

Teachers applying under the extreme hardship category are expected to provide the required documents to support their applications.
The department will review the information before making final decisions on eligible cases.
Transfer orders expected in December
Teachers who successfully complete the process will have to wait for the final transfer orders.
According to the announced schedule, transfer orders are expected to be issued during the first week of December.
This means the process will continue for several weeks after applications close.
The department will first review applications, handle objections and verify documents before issuing the final orders.
What teachers should know
Teachers eligible under the extreme hardship category should keep track of the application dates and make sure their documents are complete.
Applications will only be accepted during the announced period from September 28 to October 8.
Teachers should also remain aware of the objection and verification deadlines to avoid missing an important stage of the process.
The lifting of the transfer ban could provide an opportunity for teachers facing serious personal difficulties to seek placement closer to their preferred location.
