Koppal District PU Colleges Face Lecturer Shortage
Many schools in Koppal are having trouble finding enough teachers.
There are only about half as many teachers as there should be.
This is because it's hard for government schools to hire teachers.
The schools are now hiring temporary teachers.
The shortage is making it harder for the schools to teach students.
Last year, fewer students passed their exams, and the schools did not do as well in the state rankings.
The government has approved new classes in some schools.
Koppal district PU colleges face a shortage of teaching staff as the new academic year begins.
Only 209 permanent lecturers are employed out of 415 sanctioned posts across 123 colleges.
Government colleges rely heavily on guest lecturers due to lack of a structured recruitment system.
Staff shortage impacts permanent lecturers who have to travel to other colleges and take on additional duties.
The district's pass rate dropped to 67% last year, and the district fell one position in state rankings.
