The Punjab Higher Education Department (PHED) on Saturday abolished more than 450 non-teaching posts in colleges across the province. This move follows the recent elimination of government posts in schools, raising concerns among teachers and employees of colleges.

According to teachers and staff, colleges were already facing a shortage of personnel while the workload continues to increase. They fear that abolishing additional non-teaching posts could further aggravate administrative difficulties. They worry that this could disrupt routine administrative operations and adversely affect the day-to-day functioning of educational institutions.

The teachers and employees expressed concern that the elimination of hundreds of posts could lead to increased pressure on existing staff, potentially impacting the quality of education and administrative services provided.
