The Sindh cabinet approved a teachers’ licensing policy to provide legal protection to educators. Two teachers’ training institutes will be transferred to the Sindh Teachers Education Development Authority (STEDA) and a board will be established to oversee training and issue licenses.

A B.Ed or M.Ed degree is required for a professional license and license holders can apply for Grade 16 positions but further training is necessary for promotions. A STEDA board will be formed, chaired by the Minister for Education and including high-ranking department officials, to issue licenses and oversee training.
