At least 150 schools in Himachal Pradesh are operating without a teacher, while another 3,500 have only one teacher, highlighting the staffing challenges in remote areas despite the state having the country's best pupil-teacher ratio, Education Minister Rohit Thakur said in the state Assembly on Wednesday, according to PTI.
The issue came up during Zero Hour after BJP MLA Reena Kashyap raised the shortage of teachers in her Pachhad constituency and urged the government to fill vacant posts.
