Uttarakhand Lifts Recruitment Freeze for Aided Secondary School Staff
The state government has lifted its long-standing freeze on hiring teaching and non-teaching staff in aided non-government secondary schools.
Current Summary
The Uttarakhand government has announced that a recruitment drive will begin to fill vacant teaching and non-teaching positions in the state's aided non-government secondary schools. A government statement issued Sunday said that, in this election year and with students' interests in mind, the state has lifted its long-standing freeze on the recruitment process. School management committees will now be able to fill vacant posts based on each school's student enrolment. School Education Minister Dhan Singh Rawat said the move aims to strengthen the education system and ensure adequate staffing, noting that some school management committees have approached the High Court over recruitment while others have struggled to function with minimal teachers. Rawat said recruitment will proceed only for sanctioned vacant posts formally revived or restored by the competent authority, to avoid future administrative hurdles.
