Agartala: In a major step to improve the academic workforce in government-run schools, the Tripura government has approved the recruitment of 1,615 new teachers, state Tourism Minister Sushanta Chowdhury announced on Tuesday.
Speaking to the media after a cabinet meeting, Chowdhury said the hiring process will include 915 post-graduate teachers for Classes 11 and 12, and 700 graduate teachers for Classes 9 and 10.
The move aims to address a growing shortage of qualified teaching staff across the state.
