By Staff Reporter

GUWAHATI, Dec 18 - The State Government will fill up the posts of principals of the higher secondary schools before the ensuing Magh Bihu festival. This was disclosed by Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma today.

In a statement, Sarma said that almost 700 higher secondary schools of the State are functioning without permanent principals and the principals of all those schools would be appointed before Magh Bihu.

Sarma said that within January, 11,000 primary school teachers would be appointed to reduce the problem of shortage of teachers in the schools. He said that at one point of time, school teachers were appointed politically and asserted that now merit would be the only criteria for selection of candidates for appointment as school teachers.
