The Basic Education Department of Uttar Pradesh has initiated preparations for a large-scale recruitment drive to address the shortage of teachers in urban schools. According to reports, plans are being formulated to appoint 11,508 Assistant Teachers in urban council schools and 10,000 Instructors in upper primary schools. After a considerable period, the department is moving towards direct recruitment, a development that has kindled hope among lakhs of aspirants.

Details regarding vacancies from all 75 districts of the state have been forwarded to the commission. It is now expected that an official notification to commence the application process will be issued shortly.
