Software to monitor teacher's vacancies

Updated on: Wednesday, April 27, 2011

In order to implement the Right To Education Act (RTE) more effectively, a new software that will monitor teacher employment has been developed, an officer from the Human Resource Development Ministry said.

The software will use data from district information system for education and generate lists on teacher requirements developed by the ministry. The software was discussed in a meeting on the RTE Act headed by Human Resource Development Minister Kapil Sibal.

The official said, "The software will have the potential to generate a list of under-served and over-served schools, create a vacancy database, generate a list of vacancies subject-wise and correct existing imbalances in teacher deployment."

"It will also be sensitive to the needs of physically handicapped teachers, women teachers and other categories as prioritised by the state," the official added.

The meeting focused on the monitoring of RTE implementation and also discussed making local authorities the grievance redressal agencies. The state commissions will also ensure protection of child rights at the state level.
