The Uttar Pradesh government on Wednesday regularised the jobs of 3,346 education personnel posted in District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) across 70 districts. This decision aims to provide long-term institutional stability to teacher training systems and enhance the quality of education in the state.
Government Order Details
In a government order, Additional Chief Secretary of Basic and Secondary Education, Partha Sarathi Sen Sharma, stated that several academic and administrative posts that have been functioning on a temporary basis for decades are now permanent. These positions, originally created between 1989 and 2004, have been deemed essential for sustaining teacher training, academic leadership, and research functions within the state's education system.
Posts Regularised
The regularisation covers a wide range of posts, including:
- 70 principals and 70 vice principals
- 420 senior lecturers
- 1,190 lecturers
- 560 technical, administrative, and support staff
Impact on Education
This step is expected to bring greater continuity, accountability, and efficiency in the functioning of DIETs, according to a government spokesperson. DIETs play a crucial role in implementing key initiatives such as the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, the NIPUN Bharat Mission, foundational literacy and numeracy programmes, and early childhood education through Bal Vatika.
Long-Term Benefits
By providing a stable human resource framework, the government aims to accelerate academic innovation, research, and effective curriculum delivery. Director of the State Council of Educational Research & Training (SCERT), Ganesh Kumar, said: "It's a significant decision that will build a sustainable, modern, and outcome-oriented education system in Uttar Pradesh, with long-term benefits for both teachers and students."
