News Desk: The West Bengal government will be appointing over 32,000 teachers for upper primary and primary levels by March next year, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said on Monday.
The appointment process to fill up at least 14,000 vacancies in the upper primary level (classes 5-8) and 10,500 in the primary level (classes 1-4) will be completed before the Durga Puja in October. Around 7,500 more posts for primary teachers will be filled up by March 2022, the Chief Minister said.
“So, around 32,000 teachers will be appointed by next march. This will definitely help our school education,” the CM said.
She said that the appointments will be made on the basis of the merit list and no lobbying will be required. “Those who have passed the examinations are eligible for the jobs. The appointments were stuck because of court cases,” she said.
