102 high schools get upgraded to higher secondary level in Odisha
BHUBANESWAR: As many as 102 high schools in the state under the School and Mass Education department have been upgraded to higher secondary schools. School and Mass Education minister Nityananda Gond on Wednesday informed that these schools will start functioning from the new 2025-26 academic session. Upgradation of the schools to higher secondary level has been recently approved by the Ministry of Education's Project Approval Board (PAB) for Samagra Siksha for the 2025-26 academic session. Of these schools, 28 will be offering science streams and six commerce. The rest of the higher secondary schools will have arts stream. Gond said this will help a large number of students who had to travel longer distances to pursue higher secondary education. 'Such children who did not have the scope to pursue Plus II within their areas, can now do so in their local school. Most of these upgraded schools are in rural pockets of the state. This way, the children will receive quality education under the government's comprehensive education system,' he added. During the last session, 74 high schools in the state had been upgraded as higher secondary schools by the PAB.

Chd edu dept to issue ads for 334 teaching, other posts this month
Chandigarh: The UT education department is set to advertise 334 teaching and academic support posts this month. These include 218 vacancies for junior basic teachers (JBTs), 109 for trained graduate teachers (TGTs), and a few specialist posts in special education and information systems. Harsuhinder Pal Singh Brar, director of school education, said, "We have finalised the requisition. The advertisement will be issued within this month. The need for recruitment has been long-pending. Having completed the regular recruitment process, we are now in a position to move ahead and complete the Samagra Siksha recruitments." The last recruitment drive was carried out in 2023, when 293 JBT posts were advertised then. It had attracted many applicants, with eligibility limited to residents of Chandigarh. Officials said this year's recruitment is also likely to follow a similar pattern, with merit-based selection through a written test, though final details are yet to be notified. The shortage has been particularly acute at the primary and middle level, where JBTs and TGTs form the core teaching workforce.
