There has been a major move by the Sindh government in the last few days, with sacking of three heads of education boards, as well as the removal of several top officials from their posts, Geo News reported on Thursday.
A notification published by Geo News indicates that Sindh caretaker Chief Minister Justice (retd) Maqbool Baqir has appointed a new chairman for the boards of intermediate Karachi, Sindh Technical Board, and Larkana board, following the removal of the current chairman.
A similar decision was made to sack the secretaries and controllers of the examinations of BIEK, Nawabshah, Mirpurkhas, Sukkur, and Larkana boards.
A number of other audit officers have been removed from their jobs, including those in Larkana, Sukkur, Nawabshah, as well as the auditors for the Board of Secondary Education Karachi.
Furthermore, the Sindh government has applied to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for permission to appoint new personnel to the now-vacant positions in the state, as interim rulers need the body’s approval to hire new employees in their positions.
A letter sent to the commission by the government also stated that in a number of education boards across the province, top posts are currently being operated through “stop-gap” arrangements, and that permanent appointments are necessary to allow these departments to function more efficiently.
