The Punjab government on Monday announced that all vacancies of school and college teachers will be filled in early time. The Chief Minister Prakash Singh Badal gave approval to fill educational institutions, a government spokesman said.

At a meeting of education department officers here on Monday, Badal directed the officers to immediately initiate the process of recruitment. He also asked officials to look into the viability of establishing the state level teachers recruitment board. Some 10,000 to 12,000 teachers retire every year.

He said that the recruitment and promotions of teachers should be done regularly so that no vacancy is kept pending. Badal declared that 2012 and 2013 would be exclusively devoted to the overall development of government schools and higher institutions.

Also, the officials were asked to fill all the vacant posts of principals in the colleges at the earliest to ensure their proper functioning.
