Special Exemption for Disabled Surplus Teachers in SIS Rationalization 2025
The Punjab School Education Department (SED) is running the SIS Rationalization 2025. This process is for the transfer of surplus teachers in public schools across Punjab. A very important update has been announced by the department for all school heads, staff, and especially for disabled teachers.
Special Notice from SED
Director Monitoring & Evaluation, Rana Abdul Qayyum Khan, has sent a message to all CEOs and DEAs. It states:
- All surplus teachers must submit their transfer preferences for under-staffed schools by 24th July 2025.
- If a surplus teacher does not submit their preferences, the SIS system will automatically place them in a school that needs teachers. This will be done without any exceptions.
- No excuses or delays will be accepted.
- Only teachers with a verified disability certificate from the Social Security Welfare Board (as stated in the eTransfers policy 2024) may be considered for exemption. Final approval must come from the School Education Department.
This means the system is now very strict. If you are a surplus teacher, you must act fast and follow the rules. Disabled teachers have a clear exemption path but must complete the process as explained below. Check Who Applied for Transfer.
Why Is This Exemption Important?
Disabled teachers face extra problems if moved to a different school. They may struggle with travel or health. The exemption helps them stay at their current school, as long as their disability is confirmed and all steps are followed in the SIS system.
Step-by-Step: What Disabled Teachers Need to Do
Even with this exemption, disabled teachers must use the SIS app and follow every step. Here is how:
Step 1: Open the SIS App
- Open the School Information System (SIS) app on your phone.
- Or use sis.pesrp.edu.pk in your browser.
Step 2: Go to the Transfer Section
- Find the “Transfer” tab in the main menu.
Step 3: Select School Options
- Select your preferred school options, even if you want to stay in your current school.
Step 4: Use the “Raise Concern” Option
- Find and open the “Raise Concern” option during your transfer application.
Step 5: Attach Your Disability Certificate
- Upload a clear, valid disability certificate. Only certificates from the Social Security Welfare Board are accepted.
- In the comment box, write “disabled” or “معذور”.
Step 6: Submit Your Concern
- Complete and submit your application and concern. This alerts SED that you are claiming exemption.
Step 7: Wait for Verification
- The District Education Authority will check your certificate. If it is valid, your transfer order will be cancelled, and you can stay at your school.
- Final approval is given by the School Education Department.
What If You Do Not Submit Your Application?
- If you do not submit your preferences by 24th July 2025, the SIS system will automatically assign you to any school where teachers are needed.
- No appeals, excuses, or late applications will be accepted.
- Every surplus teacher, except those with an approved disability exemption, must participate and follow the process.
What Happens If Your Certificate Is Not Valid?
- Only certificates from the Social Security Welfare Board will be accepted, as per eTransfers policy 2024.
- If your certificate is not valid or is missing, your request for exemption will be rejected.
- If this happens, you will be treated as a regular surplus teacher and adjusted by the SIS system.
