WBSSC: Recruitment of teachers and headmasters for state-run schools to start soon

The process of recruitment of assistant teachers and headmasters will soon be recruited for state-run secondary and higher secondary schools in West Bengal.

The West Bengal Central School Service Commission (WBCSSC) said in a statement that it will soon issue an advertisement for recruitment to the post of assistant teachers in secondary and higher secondary schools.

In another notice, the WBCSSC said it will soon issue an advertisement for recruitment to the posts of headmaster/headmistress in secondary, higher secondary and junior high schools and all the relevant details regarding the selection process will be given in a brochure accompanying the advertisement.

West Bengal Education minister Bratya Basu recently said the government was in favour of fast-tracking the appointment of teachers and was aware of the plight of hundreds of educated youth who were awaiting appointment in state-run schools.

He said the West Bengal government has been unable to carry on the recruitment process in a full-fledged manner because of court cases.

The WBCSSC sought to know about the number of vacant teacher posts in schools from the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education recently, a school education department official said.
