L-G nod to create 200 posts for PGT teachers in Delhi govt schools

“609 government schools with children with disabilities enrolled in the senior secondary level require services of PGT (Special Education) to cater to inclusive education needs of such students daily. The current strength of teachers in this category is unable to cover all such children full time,” the L-G office said in its statement to the press.

The implementation of inclusive education in Delhi adheres to the provisions of the Right to Education Act, 2009, the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and the National Education Policy, 2020.

The L-G’s orders were issued following a thorough process initiated by the Delhi Education Department. The department first assessed challenges faced by teachers and consulted with the AR, Finance and Planning departments before the final approval was given by the L-G’s office, officials said.

With the L-G’s approval, the newly sanctioned teacher posts will now be filled by the Delhi Subordinate Services Selection Board (DSSSB). The posts created are in the pay matrix level 8 in Group ‘B’, which would pay a salary between Rs 47,600 to Rs 1,51,100.

The L-G office said, “Saxena has also emphasised permanently filling up vacant posts in all government schools through exams by DSSSB in a time-bound manner.”

The recruitment process for various teaching posts is currently being handled by the DSSSB.
