With recruitment on cards, UT told to fix teacher-student ratio
1 2 Chandigarh: As the UT education department prepares to recruit over 300 teaching and academic support staff, a recent review by the Union ministry of education has also underlined the need for annual rationalisation of teacher deployment across government schools. During the latest round of discussions under Samagra Shiksha, the Project Approval Board (PAB) noted that nearly 10% of elementary schools in Chandigarh continue to report adverse pupil-teacher ratios (PTRs). The board advised the UT administration to carry out routine school-wise analysis of enrolment and staff strength to ensure more balanced classroom distribution, especially ahead of the new academic session. While acknowledging Chandigarh's efforts toward filling longstanding vacancies, the board emphasised that rational deployment should be institutionalised as part of annual planning and not treated as a one-time corrective step. Officials said such data-driven reallocation of teachers can strengthen classroom delivery without the need for additional posts in every case. The timing of the recommendation coincides with the department's upcoming recruitment drive for 334 posts, including 218 junior basic teachers (JBTs), 109 trained graduate teachers (TGTs), and a few specialist positions such as resource teachers for inclusive education and MIS coordinators. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like ดัชนีทั่วโลกกำลังคึกคัก ถึงเวลาเทรดแล้ว!

Officials say the fresh recruitment will ease pressure on existing staff, especially at the primary and middle levels. The PAB observations reflect a parallel planning priority: ensuring that available teachers are placed where they are most needed. The board also stressed the importance of using real-time data and UDISE+ indicators to guide deployment decisions under Samagra Shiksha. The UT is expected to share an update on rationalisation efforts during the next round of scheme reviews.

First Bell classes on Victers channel from July 9
'First Bell' digital classes for students from Classes I to X, based on the revised textbooks, will be telecast on the KITE Victers channel from July 9, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said. The Minister was addressing through videoconferencing a workshop organised by KITE (Kerala Infrastructure and Technology for Education) for high school head teachers in all districts to familiarise them with academic monitoring platforms as part of the Comprehensive Quality Education Programme on Saturday. The Minister said the classes on KITE Victers were intended to offer additional academic support to students following changes in the school curriculum. The Minister highlighted the importance of using the Samagra Plus portal for academic planning and monitoring. The portal enables comprehensive monitoring from the bottom level to the top and issuing of directives. 'It facilitates preparation and storage of digital lesson plans by teachers and plan submission to head teachers,' the Minister said. The portal also provides access to a range of digital resources and includes tools for teachers to assess whether their lesson plans align with the scheme of work. A total of 2,684 high school head teachers from 14 districts took part in the workshop. Training for educational officers has already been completed. KITE chief executive officer K. Anvar Sadath was present.
