Bengaluru, May 24, 2025: The Karnataka government has sanctioned the appointment of 51,000 guest teachers for the 2025-26 academic year to address vacant teacher positions in state-run primary and secondary schools. This marks the largest-ever recruitment of guest teachers in the state, with the order issued on Friday.
The Finance Department has approved the hiring of 40,000 guest teachers for primary schools and 11,000 for secondary schools. The Education Department has directed that these 51,000 guest teachers be recruited directly to fill vacant positions, either until the posts are permanently filled or until the end of the academic year. Commissioners, Additional Commissioners, and Directors of the department have been instructed to submit proposals detailing the required funds for honorarium payments and the district/taluk-wise distribution of these guest teachers.
Over 60,000 Vacancies Persist:
According to Education Department officials, more than 60,000 teacher positions remain vacant across the state’s 46,000+ government primary and secondary schools. With over 6,000 teachers retiring annually, the vacancy count continues to rise as successive governments have failed to address the issue comprehensively. In a five-year term, governments typically recruit only 10,000 to 15,000 teachers, exacerbating the shortage. This has led to an increasing reliance on guest teachers in government schools. Last year, 45,000 guest teachers were appointed, and this year’s order for 51,000 aims to mitigate the ongoing crisis.
Bengaluru, May 24, 2025: As the summer vacation concludes in Karnataka, the 2025-26 academic year is set to commence soon. The Department of School Education has directed all schools across the state to welcome students with an opening ceremony on May 29.
The department has instructed schools to begin the student enrollment process on the opening day and complete it by June 30. All teachers are required to participate in the opening ceremony and ensure that every child of the specified age group is enrolled. Schools must also ensure the smooth implementation of programs such as mid-day meals, Ksheerabhagya, and the distribution of textbooks and uniforms. Education officers have been directed to undertake intensive campaigns to boost enrollment numbers.
Educational institutions planning to grant holidays during Christmas must submit a request to the Deputy Directors, who will review and decide on the matter. Any holidays granted for Christmas should be adjusted by reducing the mid-term break in October. In cases of unexpected closures due to strikes, heavy rains, or other unforeseen reasons, schools are required to compensate by conducting classes on subsequent holidays. Further academic guidelines will be provided in the coming days. The Commissioner of the Department of School Education has issued a circular urging schools to prepare and implement an action plan accordingly.
