PUNE: The state government's recent decision to lift its ban on the recruitment of teachers has come as a huge relief for thousands of aspirants.

The government had frozen the recruitment process after a state-wide school inspection drive in 2011 found excess teachers in several schools. Recruitment was banned till the excess teachers were relocated to schools where they were needed.

The education department issued a government resolution (GR) on June 20 declaring that the recruitment ban has been lifted. However, there is no clarity about those who have cleared the first-ever teacher eligibility test (TET) conducted in December 2013.

Mahavir Mane, state director of education (primary), said the 2011 school inspection drive had identified as many as 2,000 excess teachers. "Our department has been shifting teachers to places where there is a shortage. Once all the 2,000 teachers are placed, new teachers will be recruited," he said.

As many as six lakh teachers appeared for the state TET in December. Only 4.43% candidates who appeared for the TET for primary teachers could clear paper I whereas 5.95% teachers cleared paper II for secondary teachers.

The GR says the state commissioner of education will chart out the requirement of teachers at the taluka-level and initiate the allotment process. Once allotment is done, the commissioner should take stock of the vacant posts and initiate the recruitment process.

The GR also states that restrictions on recruitments in higher secondary schools and junior colleges have been lifted. However, a separate notification will be issued for this.
