Delhi High Court Seeks Explanation on Vacant PGT Posts in Government Schools
The Delhi High Court has asked the city government to explain why 2,714 postgraduate teacher (PGT) posts remain vacant in government schools despite a 2023 Central Administrative Tribunal order to fill 2,000 vacancies. A PIL highlighted that no appointments have been made under the 50% promotional quota for four years, affecting education quality for students in Classes 10 to 12. The court has scheduled the next hearing for December 16, seeking the government’s response on the issue.
