The Uttarakhand government has lifted the ban on filling vacant teaching and non-teaching posts in aided, non-government secondary schools. State School Education Minister Dr. Dhan Singh Rawat stated that this decision was taken with the interests of students as the top priority. School management committees will now be able to recruit teachers and staff in proportion to the number of students enrolled.
Dr. Rawat explained that while some management committees were approaching the High Court regarding recruitment, other schools were struggling with a shortage of teachers. To address this disparity and improve the quality of education, regular appointments have been approved.
The Education Minister has issued strict instructions to officials, specifying that recruitment must be limited to posts that have been duly sanctioned or restored by the competent authority. The entire recruitment process is to be conducted fairly, in full compliance with established rules and standards, and with complete transparency
