Supreme Court Directs Jharkhand to Reserve Half Teacher Vacancies for Para-Teachers

The Supreme Court directed the Jharkhand government to reserve 50% of assistant teacher and sahayak acharya vacancies exclusively for para-teachers within four weeks. Para-teachers, hired on fixed-term contracts under schemes like Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, currently lack employment security. The court emphasized the need to strengthen education quality by eliminating ad-hoc employment practices and urged periodic performance audits to enhance efficiency and ensure stable teacher-student relationships.
