Uttar Pradesh: Taking a sigh of relief and welcoming the Allahabad High Court's decision, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday ordered the recruitment of 69,000 primary teachers within a week. The development came a day after the Allahabad Court favoured the state government's decision and asked the authorities to recruit 69000 teachers in primary schools in the state. Earlier, the first decision of the High Court, in this case, was against Yogi Adtiyanath. Chief Minister later filed a special appeal against this decision. The court on Wednesday favoured the government's decision to increase the cut-off marks 60-65 per cent. It has also ordered the recruitment process to be completed within six months. The advertisement for the recruitment was released on December 01, 2018. The written exam for 69,000 teachers' recruitment was conducted on January 6, 2019. The examination authorities are all set to release the results the next week. On July 25, 2017, the Supreme Court had asked the state government to cancel the recruitment of 1,37,517 teachers on the post of TET Assistant Teacher but give them the benefit of experience in two recruitment. Six months later, on January 17, 2018, the government issued the order for the written examination for the assistant teachers' posts for the first time to hire 68,500 teachers. About 7,200 Shiksha Mitras qualified in the written examination held on May 27. They all got an opportunity to be recruited for the 68,500 assistant teachers' posts. The exam was conducted on January 6, 2019, for 69,000 teachers' recruitment but there was a dispute regarding the cut-off marks and the examination regulatory authority office could not release the final answer key in 11 months.
