Madhya Pradesh will recruit teachers against only 18,000 posts over the next two years despite 72,950 vacancies shown in government records, School Education Minister Uday Pratap Singh said. He attributed the gap to around 70,000-72,000 guest teachers and reservation requirements, including SC/ST backlog and the 13% OBC quota kept on hold.
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): In a major setback for teacher aspirants in Madhya Pradesh, the School Education Department will recruit teachers against only 18,000 posts over the next two years.
School education minister Uday Pratap Singh made the announcement on Tuesday while addressing students at the laptop distribution programme held at the Kushabhau Thakre International Convention Centre in Bhopal.
The minister said there was a misconception around the number of vacant teacher posts in the state. “We frequently hear in the news or read in newspapers that a large number of teacher posts are vacant.
However, people do not understand that these figures do not represent the actual shortage of teachers, as guest teachers have been engaged against several of these posts,” he said.
