However, to avail this opportunity, students must graduate with a CGPA of at least 2.6 / 4.0.

These government schools will be privately managed and will provide teachers with a safe and supportive environment in which to implement all the skills they have learnt in the B.Ed. program.
If teachers pass the Sindh Teaching License exam soon after graduation and become government employees, then their remaining 3-year teaching service period can be completed in the government school where they will be posted.
