With the start of the new academic session in Madhya Pradesh, preparations to address the teacher shortage in schools have intensified. The state government is set to begin the recruitment process for approximately 80,000 guest teachers. The School Education Department has prepared a proposal for this, and vacant positions are being assessed. Officials say that guest teachers will be appointed wherever regular teachers are not available to ensure that children's education is not disrupted and the session runs smoothly and on time.

There are a large number of vacant teaching positions in the state. To fill these vacant positions, the government plans to hire approximately 80,000 guest teachers for the new session. Currently, approximately 76,000 guest teachers are employed, whose tenure ends in March. Re-appointments will be made as needed in the new session.

Proposal sent, preparations begin.
The Directorate of Public Instruction has sent the recruitment proposal to the School Education Department. According to officials, the process for the new academic session begins in April. Therefore, efforts are being made to ensure that students' studies are not disrupted. A deadline for the appointment of guest teachers will be set soon. Meetings are being held regularly with officials on this subject.

Planning, Considering the Session and Holidays
The session begins in April, while summer vacation begins in May. Schools reopen on June 15th, and regular classes begin in July. The recruitment process for guest teachers will be completed, keeping this timeframe in mind, ensuring smooth academic progress.

Postal Number Likely to Increase
The number of vacant positions in the state is increasing due to teachers retiring every month. This session, more than 500 teachers have retired, some of whom have passed away. Regular appointments to these positions have not yet been made. Therefore, the number of guest teachers in the new session may exceed 80,000.

Officials Statement
Departmental officials say that preparations are underway for the new session. As soon as the session begins, the process of appointing guest teachers to fill the vacant positions will be expedited, ensuring students' education continues uninterrupted.
