• The state government is initiating a significant teacher recruitment drive for state schools ahead of the Assembly elections.
• The School Service Commission (SSC) is set to release the final panel for Class XI-XII teacher recruitment by January 21.
• This recruitment aims to fill 12,514 vacant posts, addressing a long-standing teacher shortage in state schools.
• The Supreme Court had previously ordered the cancellation of the 2016 SSC panel, leading to 26,000 job losses.
• The apex court directed a new recruitment process to be completed by December 31, allowing eligible teachers to continue until then.
