Along with the announcement, the department has also released a district-wise interview schedule: shortlisted candidates will be interviewed at 10:00 AM on November 2 in Murree, November 3 in Attock, November 4 in Jhelum, and November 5 in Chakwal and Talagang.

Attock has the largest share with 32 vacancies, followed by Chakwal and Talagang with 24 combined positions. Candidates should apply to the special education institution in their own district.
Available Positions
The recruitment covers Junior and Senior Special Education Teacher posts across several disability categories, along with specialist Speech Therapist positions:
- Senior Special Education Teacher – for Hearing Impaired (HI), Visually Impaired (VI), Mentally Challenged, and Physically Disabled students
- Junior Special Education Teacher – for Hearing Impaired (HI), Visually Impaired (VI), Mentally Challenged, and Physically Disabled students
- Speech Therapist – specialist post with separate academic requirements mentioned in the advertisement
The exact number of seats and the required specialization vary from institution to institution, so applicants should check the official advertisement for the post-wise breakup before applying.

Unlike regular government posts, STI positions carry a fixed monthly honorarium rather than a full pay scale. The rates are linked to the post level:
| Post Level | Monthly Honorarium |
|---|---|
| BS-16 posts | Rs. 40,000 |

Educational Qualification
Most teaching positions require an MA or BS degree in Special Education with the appropriate specialization matching the disability category of the post (for example, specialization in deaf education for Hearing Impaired posts).
