## Will the Minister of HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT be pleased to state :

- (a) whether the Government proposes to make it mandatory for under graduate students to provide atleast hours teaching service a week in nearby educational institutions; (b) if so, the shortage in the number of teachers across the country likely to be compensated as a result thereof; (c) the number of post of teachers in schools and colleges lying vacant across the country; and
- (d) the time by which these posts are likely to be filled, State -wise?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (DR. SATYA PAL SINGH)

- (a) & (b): No, Madam.
- (c) & (d): Occurring of vacancies and filling up of vacant posts is a continuous and ongoing process due to retirements, resignations, deaths, deputations etc. and no time -frame can be given. The recruitment of teachers in schools and Colleges is primarily in the domain of the State Governments/UT Administrations. However, the Central Government through the Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Sarva Shiksa Abhiyan (SSA) provides assistance to the State Governments and UTs for additional teachers to maintain appropriate Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) as per the norms for Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009. As per the Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) 2015 -16, PTR at national level for primary schools is 23:1 and upper primary schools is 17:1, which is better than the norm laid down in RTE Act, 2009. The State -wise details of teachers' vacancies at elementary level as on 31.03.2017 are at Annexure -I. Data regarding Colleges is not centrally maintained.
