School on the Lines of Simultala Residential School

Why In News?

• On November 18, 2022, Bihar Education Minister Prof. Chandrashekhar, while talking to reporters at the Secretariat at Vikas Bhawan in Patna, said that in order to improve the quality of education, schools will be opened on the lines of Simultala Residential School at every district headquarters level of the state.

Key Points

• Prof. Chandrasekhar said Simultala residential school is a better model of school education. This school has given many toppers and admission is given through entrance examination in this school.
• He said that 3.38 lakh posts of teachers are vacant in Bihar. However, there are not enough CTET / STET pass candidates to fill so many posts. Even after all this, the seventh phase of teacher planning will start soon and its preparation is in the final stages.
• He said that a concrete policy will be made for the transfer of teachers. Among the teachers, especially women, disabled and needy teachers, transfers have become necessary. The government will take serious steps in this direction.
