The Sindh government has decided to hire music teachers in the province’s government schools in BPS-14.

Music teachers will teach Hamd, Naat Sharifs, Azaan, and music at educational institutions, according to Sindh Education Minister Syed Sardar Shah.

Matriculation and music certificates have been made mandatory for the recruitment of music teachers.

Certificates from the National Music Academy and the Sindh Institute of Music and Art have been made mandatory for candidates interested in becoming music teachers.

The Sindh Education Department has completed the summary of appointments that will take place soon.

The Sindh government decided earlier this year to make music and art elective subjects in public schools across the province.

Sindh Education Minister Syed Sadar Ali Shah had said that music and art classes would be introduced in the province to “counter extremist tendencies.”
