After completing the recruitment of over 1.25 lakh teachers in government schools under the Basic Shiksha Parishad, the Uttar Pradesh government has set up a three-member committee to look into the recruitment process for filling up vacant posts of teachers in a time-bound manner.
“The three-member committee will seek details of vacant posts in state-run primary and upper primary schools and also work for the creation of new posts,” said a government spokesman in Lucknow on Friday.
The committee, headed by the Revenue Board chairman, will have secretary, Basic Shiksha and secretary, Basic Shiksha Parishad, as members, and has been asked to submit its detailed report on vacant posts as early as possible.
At a high-level meeting with senior officials on Friday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also enquired about the teaching and learning activities in these schools as normal classes for students of Classes 1 to 5 have resumed from September 1.
Emphasising the need for making optimum use of the talent of new teachers posted in the schools, Yogi directed officials maintain an ideal teacher-student ratio.
“Besides, the appointment of teachers on vacant posts in schools, new posts should also be created. Planned and continuous efforts are being made by the state government to improve education in schools of Basic Shiksha Parishad,” he said.
