The government primary and secondary schools in the seven districts of Kalyana Karnataka region, which already faced teacher shortage, has received another blow with the government allowing inter-divisional transfer of teachers. The exercise has left 464 schools in Kalyana Karnataka with zero teachers.
Most of the teachers from south, Malnad and coastal Karnataka regions, who were serving in Kalyana Karnataka schools for the last 15 years, got transferred to their native places. However, the wide gap between the number of teachers going out of the region and coming into the region has triggered the current crisis.
