 All teachers should compulsorily work for a minimum period of 3 years in a remote school in ones service period.

 All teachers should teach a minimum of 22 (34 periods) hours a week, all heads of schools 8 (12 periods) hours a week and all assistant/VPs 12 (16 periods) hours a week.

  The average size of a class/section is 36 and hence teacher-pupil ratio is 1:32.

  There should be at least two teachers in a school irrespective of the size of a school. This is to allow consultation between the teachers while teaching and managing the schools.

  Teachers posted in very remote places should be transferred out to a more comfortable place after a minimum of three years.

  All fresh graduates should initially go to remote schools.

  Fresh graduates with marital cases will be considered case by case except in Thimphu and Phuntsholing.

  Special considerations are given to female teachers while placing them in terms of extreme remoteness. We try and place them in pairs if they are placed in very remote schools.

  Those who are not happy with the placement can opt to join private or wait until they are ready for appointment

  First time placement will not be entertained in Thimphu and Phuntsholing under any circumstances.

  Initial appointment will be done by the headquarter.
