Fake teacher appointments in the Education Department of Mirpurkhas have turned into a bigger scandal. Three more teachers have now been declared fake, which takes the total number of such cases to nine. The Sindh Secretary Education has taken notice and ordered a formal inquiry into how these people were appointed and how they were paid salaries from the government treasury.
This news matters for every teacher and job seeker in Sindh. It shows that the department is now checking appointment records more closely, and it also raises serious questions about how Sindh teacher recruitment is handled at district level. Below we explain the full story in simple words.
Fake Teacher Appointments in Mirpurkhas: What Happened?
According to a report published on 4 November 2026, the Director of School Education (Primary) Mirpurkhas, Muhammad Iqbal Kumbhar, submitted a report to the Secretary Education. The report confirmed that three more appointments in the district were not genuine. Earlier, six teachers had already been found to hold fake appointment orders.
The report also pointed to illegal salary payments. It suggests that the people holding these orders were drawing salaries through the Treasury Office, even though their appointments were not valid. This is why the case is being treated as both a recruitment scam and a financial irregularity.

Why This Case Is Important for Sindh Teachers
Sindh has faced many complaints about teacher hiring over the years. Recently, the Sindh High Court also asked the government to decide pending complaints about teacher recruitment. Cases like Mirpurkhas show why strong checks are needed. When someone gets a post through a fake order, a deserving candidate loses that seat, and students suffer because the school does not get a properly selected teacher.
For genuine teachers, this is also a reminder to keep their documents safe and complete. During such inquiries, the department often asks teachers to show their offer letter, joining report, test result and service book.
What Genuine Teachers and Candidates Should Do
- Keep copies of your appointment order, joining report and test/merit result.
- Make sure your personal number and salary record match the official order.
- Never pay any agent or middleman for a government teaching job.
- Apply only through official recruitment drives announced by the School Education and Literacy Department or the relevant testing agency.
- If someone offers a job for money, report it to the district education office.
