Fill all teacher vacancies and give timely promotions
“Vacancies will be filled immediately after competitive testing; teachers would be given timely promotions”

A September 2025 teachers' union report said at least 50% of principal and 46% of head-teacher posts were vacant. The minister said promotions were coming. The overall teacher-vacancy figure was not found.
