If you have completed your degree in Science and have a keen interest in teaching, here is your golden chance! The Government of Sindh has come up with an official clarification for the Junior Science Teacher (BPS-14) vacancies in the School Education and Literacy Department (SE&LD).
Here, we’ll take you through all the details covered in the letter—described in simple, friendly language. If you have questions on eligibility, qualifying degrees, or how long education is required, we’ve got you covered.
On 9th May 2025, the Government of Sindh, Directorate General of HR & Training (SE&LD) issued an official clarification in reaction to questions raised by STS Sukkur IBA in relation to the eligibility criteria for the position of Junior Science Teacher (BPS-14).
This was due to the fact that the original ad had specified “Science graduates with a minimum of 50% marks” without delineation of education period or specific subjects.
Let’s analyze the three main questions posed and the answers provided
S.# | Query | Clarification |
---|---|---|
1 | Does the term “Science graduates with 50% marks” include those with 14, 15, or 16 years of education? | Yes. Applicants with 14, 15, or 16 years of education and at least 50% marks in a science-related graduation are eligible. |
2 | Are BSc/ADS, BS/MSc in Engineering, Computer Science, Social Sciences, and others eligible? | No. Only those with degrees in Natural Sciences are eligible. Eligible majors are Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Zoology, Botany, Ecology, Geology, and Medicine. Social Sciences and Engineering degrees are not eligible. |
3 | Are candidates with B.Ed. (1.5 to 4 years) with specialization in science subjects eligible? | Yes. Candidates with Intermediate in Science and B.Ed. (1.5, 2, 2.5, or 4 years) with specialization in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or Mathematics are eligible. |
Based on the notification, there are only Natural Science graduates being considered for this job. The following is a list of acceptable and unacceptable degrees:
Note: While the subjects of Computer Science and Engineering might appear science-based, they are considered Applied Sciences and are therefore not valid for this teaching position.
Yes, education qualifications are also taken into account. Eligible applicants are those having completed Intermediate (FSc) with a subsequent completion of B.Ed. (1.5 to 4 years) with a subject specialisation in any of the core science subjects.
It includes:
Assuming that the candidate’s specialization is in:
The teachers will be deployed in Primary Schools, instructing science subjects from class 1 through 8. That is not high-level science but basic and intermediate level knowledge that can be imparted to young students.
Most graduates in Science from disciplines such as those of Computer Science or Engineering tend to think that they are eligible for the same. This formal explanation, nonetheless, dispels the confusion and ensures that merely Natural Science educators apply, as is in accordance with the actual school curriculum and teaching requirements.
This also guarantees that:
Although this letter does not contain instructions for applying, the following are the general steps according to previous practices:
Here’s a brief summary for you
Criteria | Eligibility |
