About the STI Program
The School Teacher Interns (STI) program is the Punjab School Education Department’s short-term teaching engagement for government schools. This is not a permanent job — the internship runs from 3 November 2026 to 31 May 2027. During this period, interns receive a monthly stipend, and B.Ed/M.Ed holders get preference in merit.
Unlike PPSC-announced Punjab government jobs, which follow a longer competitive process, the STI program offers a faster route into teaching with a simpler online application.
