Top candidates for each school will be called by the CEO office for final document verification and after receiving the online acceptance; transfer order will be generated with QR code.

Headmasters Association Punjab President Rasheed Ahmed Bhatti termed the notification a step in the right direction and urged the government to supervise the online process with fairness.
“From the e-transfer system schoolteachers would not get rid of the clerical staff of School Education Department. There are some complications too in this online process but we are looking forward to understand the process,” he said.
