Calcutta University to Hire Permanent Teachers for Vacancies
Imagine a school with many empty classrooms because there aren't enough teachers.
Calcutta University is facing a similar problem.
They've decided to hire permanent teachers to fill these empty spots.
This is because a lot of teaching jobs are unfilled, making it hard to teach classes properly.
The university's leaders made this decision because students are not getting enough attention due to the lack of teachers.
Some departments are also unable to get accreditation for their programs because they don't have enough teachers.
The university now has to figure out how many teachers it needs before starting the hiring process and needs to get permission from the government before hiring.
Calcutta University (CU) will appoint permanent teachers to address vacancies.
The decision was made by the university's syndicate, its highest policy-making body.
Approximately 52% of teaching positions at CU are vacant.
Inadequate faculty strength is hindering the accreditation of BTech programs.
The state government requires CU to seek permission before permanent appointments.
