ONGOING TEACHER RECRUITMENT DRIVES IN UP
In 2017, CM Yogi Adityanath ordered the appointment of teachers at thousands of vacant posts. So far, more than 1.64 lakh teachers have been posted in the state.
In the last five years alone, more than 44,000 teachers have been recruited in secondary schools alone, whereas between 2003 and 2017, the previous governments recruited 33,000 teachers at secondary schools.
On the other hand, more than 33,000 assistant teachers, more than 6000 spokespersons and 800 principals have been appointed at government and aided schools.
Similarly, 1270 DIET spokespersons, 34 district basic education officers, 45 senior spokespersons and 309 block education officers have also been recruited in the last five years.
TET COMPULSORY FOR TEACHER RECRUITMENT
Importantly, CM Yogi Adityanath made a written examination mandatory for teacher recruitment to ensure transparency in the teacher recruitment process in the state.
Based on the standard of the number of students, arrangements are continuously being made for the posting of teachers in the school. Now, the process is expected to be intensified in view of the 2024 polls.
