The Finance Department has given clearance for 26,898 new posts in all 1,961 improved and fresh public schools, with 43,960 previous outsourced school posts now terminated under the School Education Department.
Based on an official notice from May 16, 2025, the provincial government will only take on the decision if there is no financial strain added to its budget.
Existing teaching and support staff will move from overstaffed to understaffed schools according to the amount of students compared to teachers and the total supply of instructors from outsourced institutions.
The memo makes it clear that no new hires of teachers or support staff are planned. Instead, the company will make decisions about staffing by looking at the existing team.
