According to sources, all the posts of the district cadre have been declared dead. There will be no re-appointments on these posts in all the posts of this cadre.
Department preparing training program
After the leave of these teachers, classes will be in the hands of those teachers who have been directly appointed without giving TET exam or BPSC exam. However, the department is preparing various training programs to enhance their skills. It is to be known that in the year 2012, the process of appointment of teachers from TET started. After this, the recruitment process of teachers is still going on. However, not all of them belong to the district cadre. All these teachers belong to the employed category.
