In one of the biggest ever recruitment drives, the Odisha government has sought to fill up 20,000 vacancies in primary schools at one go.
These 20,000 junior teachers will be appointed in primary and upper primary schools in 30 districts across the State. The candidates will be selected on the basis of marks secured on a computer based test.
Prior to the recruitment drive, the State government had issued a guideline detailing mode of recruitment. These elementary teachers will be appointed through absorption of junior teachers (schematic) after three years of continuous and satisfactory service considered through a committee at the district level.
