Maharashtra Government Initiates Recruitment Drive for Center Heads in Primary Schools
Pune, 7th June 2023: The recruitment process has commenced for the long-vacant positions of Center Heads in primary schools. A total of 2,384 vacancies will be filled through a competitive examination conducted by the Institute of Banking Personnel Selection (IBPS) in the last week of June. Online registration for the examination is open until June 15.
In order to ensure effective educational planning, student attendance management, and an elevated standard of education, 4,860 Center Head positions have been sanctioned in all primary schools under the Zilla Parishads. However, a significant number of these positions have remained vacant due to retirements, resignations, and dismissals. The absence of Center Heads has posed various challenges. To address this issue, the state government has now approved the filling of 50 percent of the vacancies through promotions and the remaining 50 percent through limited departmental competitive examinations within that quota.
Accordingly, the departmental limited competitive examination will be held for the 2,384 posts. Shailaja Darade, Commissioner of the Maharashtra State Examination Council, has released the notification containing information on the examination medium, syllabus, eligibility, and the application procedure period.
Among the districts, Pune has the highest number of vacant posts with 153, while Bhandara has the lowest with 30. Each district will have an examination center located near its headquarters. Only primary teachers from the Zilla Parishads are eligible to appear for the exam. Applicants must be under 50 years of age and possess a minimum of three years of teaching experience.
