Nearly 8,000 teachers including 2000 teachers for private aided schools, were recruited. There is a ban on recruitment for the past five years. Education is imparted to 80 per cent of students through private schools which have many posts vacant. This has impacts on the quality of education,” Mahamandal’s office-bearers said.
