The School Teacher Internship STI Posting Change Request Guide by the Punjab School Education Department (SED) provides thousands of temporary teaching opportunities across public schools. After selection, each teacher is assigned a specific school according to merit, availability of posts, and district allocation.

However, sometimes candidates face genuine issues with their assigned schools — such as long travel distances, health conditions, family constraints, or incorrect posting errors. In such cases, the department allows teachers to formally request a school posting change through an official process.

The STI Posting Change Request helps teachers get relocated to a more suitable or nearby school while maintaining fairness, transparency, and administrative balance. But the process must follow official SED guidelines — involving valid reasons, documentary proof, and proper channel submission.

Many new interns are unaware of how to apply for reposting or how to check the approval status. This detailed guide covers everything — from eligibility conditions to document preparation, application steps, and common mistakes to avoid.

By following the procedure correctly, you can increase your chances of approval and continue your teaching duties smoothly under the STI Internship 2025 policy.

🧾 What Is an STI Posting Change Request?

An STI Posting Change Request is a written application submitted to the District Education Authority (DEA) or SED seeking approval to transfer or repost a teacher from one assigned school to another under the STI Program.

This usually happens when:

• The assigned school is too far from the teacher’s residence.
• There is a mistake in the school name or posting order.
• The school lacks required teaching facilities.
• Health or family reasons make it difficult to continue at the assigned school.

The request is reviewed by the District Monitoring Officer (DMO) and forwarded to the SED Posting Committee for final approval.
