BMC schools struggle to fill teacher vacancies
Hindustan TimesMumbai: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has failed to find enough candidates to fill vacancies for teachers in its schools despite the conclusion of three rounds of the recruitment process. The civic body is struggling to find candidates who are proficient in vernacular languages as well as English as most BMC schools have opted for a combination of English and a vernacular language as the medium of instruction, said educationists. But Sajid Nisar Ahmed, founder of the Akhil Bhartiya Urdu Shikshak Sangh, said the shortage of teachers was hampering the education of hundreds of students and the BMC needs to expedite the counselling and document verification processes for the 700 eligible candidates who are yet to receive appointment letters. Approximately 15,000 candidates who applied in non-BMC schools across Maharashtra through the Pavitra portal have already received their appointment letters, which has heightened the anxiety among teacher aspirants in BMC schools.
