Salary and Work From Home Details
Selected teachers will receive a monthly salary paid by the Government of Punjab. You will not need to travel to any school or office. Instead, you are required to arrange a suitable room, either at home or nearby, where you will teach the enrolled children on a regular basis.
The government provides the salary. Your responsibility is to arrange the teaching space and identify the students.
Mandatory Requirement: Finding 20 Out-of-School Children
One of the most important requirements for this job is that you must identify and bring 20 out-of-school children from your local area. These children must meet the following conditions:
- Not be enrolled in any government or private school
- Be between 10 to 16 years of age
- Be below elementary level (i.e., below Class 6, meaning Class 5 and below)
Elementary level refers to Classes 6, 7, and 8. Children who are below this level (Class 5, 4, 3, or below) fall under the “below elementary” category and qualify for this program.
You can find such children by speaking with elders in your neighbourhood, shopkeepers, or families in your locality. Many children who are not attending school will be happy to receive free education and free books.
Important: Do not remove children who are already enrolled in a school and bring them to your center. The advertisement clearly states that only children currently not attending any school should be enrolled.
Terms and Conditions
- You will be hired on a one-year contract. If your performance is satisfactory, the contract may be extended.
- 60% of the seats are reserved for women and 40% are allocated for men.
- You are required to arrange a suitable room, either within your home or nearby, where children can comfortably sit and study.
- Identifying 20 out-of-school children and providing their complete data is your responsibility.
