However, some public representatives have taken the objection to the process of roster verification. Because of this, the Education Department has asked chief executive officers and education officers of all the ZP to fill 70 per cent of the total vacant teaching posts in schools through Pavitra Portal. The various teachers' unions including Akhil Bhartiya Urdu Shikshak Sangh opposed the decision. Founder of the union Sajid Ahmed said all 80 per cent of teachers should be filled across to reduce the number of unemployed youths in the State.
