Appointment of temporary teachers

The state government has decided to appoint temporary teachers in government lower primary schools, which are functioning without teachers.

Informing this here, Education Minister Rakkam A Sangma said that there are more than 1002 vacancies in the government’s lower primary schools.

“In view of the delay in the recruitment of regular teachers, we have decided to appoint temporary teachers in such schools,” he said while adding all teachers to be appointed will be MTET passed.

The minister said the process of appointing regular teachers may take some time due to the preparation of the roster system.

“The education department and its officials are working day and night to complete the process of giving all data to the personnel department at the earliest but it is not easy,” he added.

He said that there are over 26 lower primary schools in South Garo Hills which are presently without teachers.

Meanwhile, the minister informed that the government will be constructing new school buildings for over 117 lower primary schools in the next 2-3 months and will be taking up repairs of over 1,000 schools.
