Regular appointments through Pavitra Portal
Teachers on a regular basis will be appointed in the schools conducted by the local self-government institutions. The Maharashtra Government has scrapped the decision of appointing teachers on a contractual basis. The recruitment of the eligible candidates will be done through the ‘Pavitra Portal’.
The teachers in schools having 20 or fewer students on the roll were allowed to appoint teachers on contract. The decision was taken by the State Government, which was later modified to apply for schools with 10 or fewer students on the roll. The decision led to serious problems relating to the quality of education in such schools. The teachers’ organisations opposed the decision.
The State Government has now issued to scrap the earlier decision and issued a notification to appoint teachers on a regular basis. The teachers’ organisations have thanked the state government.
