Right To Education
Pakistan has significantly tightened the academic requirements for school teachers in recent years. Until recently, elementary and middle school teachers were able to teach after completing short training programs that led to the Primary Teaching Certificate (SSC+1) and the Certificate in Teaching (HSSC+1). Today, Pakistan’s national regulations formally stipulate a four-year bachelor’s degree in education or its equivalent as the minimum requirement to teach at Pakistani schools, from elementary through higher secondary levels. However, since teachers are hired at the provincial and regional levels, current practices vary significantly, predicated primarily on teacher shortages and a lack of qualified candidates. Admission to secondary education requires completion of middle school as well as a passing score on provincial grade 8 examinations, depending on the jurisdiction.
