This arrangement aims to ensure that all newly appointed teachers receive the necessary training to effectively perform their roles.
The appointment process, including the counselling sessions, was conducted in November, and the results have now been finalized and declared. The department has strategically posted most of the new teachers in schools located in remote areas, addressing the need for qualified educators in these regions.
