Himachal Promotes 830 Lecturers to Fill Principal Vacancies

In Himachal Pradesh, India, there are 967 government senior secondary schools.

Out of these, 830 schools do not have permanent principals, especially in remote and tribal areas.

The education department has promoted 830 senior lecturers and headmasters to fill these principal positions.

They did this in a meeting led by the Secretary of Education.

However, there are concerns about whether these new principals will actually go to work in the remote schools.

Some teachers and principals do not want to work in far-away places.

The education department is hopeful that most of the promoted principals will join their new schools, especially in the tribal and remote areas.

The promotions also come with financial benefits.
