Company Overview

The AJK Education Department isn’t just another government office—it’s the backbone of public schooling across Azad Kashmir. With over 3,200 schools under its management and a renewed focus on teacher quality since 2020, the department offers more than job security. You’ll be part of a system that actually values professional development. In my experience, few provincial bodies match their commitment to in-service training and classroom resources. Plus, working here means contributing directly to literacy rates that have climbed from 58% to 67% in the last decade.

Eligibility Criteria

Qualifications

You can’t teach what you don’t know—so we need solid academic credentials.

Bachelor’s degree (B.Ed or MA/MSc + B.Ed preferred) in relevant subject
Minimum second division (or 50% marks) in all academic qualifications
For primary teachers: DAE or CT certification accepted if paired with intermediate education
Computer literacy (MS Office, online learning platforms) required

Experience

Fresh graduates are welcome—but priority goes to those who’ve proven themselves.

0–2 years: Fresh candidates may apply for primary level
2+ years: Required for secondary and higher secondary roles
Experience in public schools or low-resource settings is a plus

Age Limit

Fairness matters, but so does energy and adaptability.

Minimum age: 21 years
Maximum age: 35 years (relaxable by 5 years for candidates from remote areas)
Age calculated as of April 15, 2026

Key Responsibilities

Here’s what you’ll actually do day-to-day—no fluff, just facts.

Deliver engaging, curriculum-aligned lessons to students at assigned grade levels
Prepare weekly lesson plans and submit them to the school head for review
Conduct formative and summative assessments, maintaining detailed student records
Participate in monthly teacher training workshops organized by the AJK Education Directorate
Supervise co-curricular activities, including science fairs and literacy campaigns
Collaborate with parents during quarterly parent-teacher meetings
Ensure classroom discipline while fostering an inclusive, respectful learning environment
Report infrastructure or resource gaps to the district education office promptly

Benefits & Perks

Why you’ll love working here—beyond the paycheck.

Comprehensive health insurance covering spouse and children
Annual performance bonus (up to 1.5 months’ salary)
Pension scheme after 5 years of continuous service
Free accommodation or housing allowance for rural postings
Subsidized transportation for teachers in remote zones
Professional development grants for further studies (MA, M.Ed)
Paid maternity/paternity leave as per AJK civil service rules

Salary & Deadline

The starting salary for a primary teacher is PKR 65,000/month, while secondary teachers begin at PKR 78,000. With annual increments and allowances (house rent, medical, conveyance), total compensation often exceeds PKR 90,000. To be fair, this beats most private school offers in the region—and comes with far greater stability.

Don’t wait until the last week. Applications close on April 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM AKT. Late submissions won’t be accepted—even by one minute.
