Odisha to hire 7,540 teachers for government high schools under its 5T initiative

In the last two selection processes last year, around 13,000 teachers were recruited and appointed in various government schools. The state government is aggressively working to enhance its education infrastructure under its 5T initiative by transforming the schools in the state. A target of transforming more than 4800 schools by December 2023 has been set by the Odisha government.

The recruitment programme has been also expedited under the 5T initiative and the vacancies in various departments are being filled at speed with complete transparency, the statement added.

Under the 5T initiative, the government is laying emphasis on the 5Ts -- teamwork, technology, transparency, transformation and time limit. The progress of the modernisation of the education system will also be measured on these five factors. Currently, the initiative has been implemented in schools of the Higher Education Department. The 5T initiative is set to help the schools in achieving a better education infrastructure and improve their delivery of education services.

The government schools will be provided computers, Internet, e-libraries, advanced play equipment and playgrounds and other facilities as part of the initiative, as per a Livemint report.
