  • Government Orders Appointment of 51,000 Guest Teachers for State Schools

    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.
