Assam schools face twin challenge: 32,321 have fewer than 30 students, 60,032 teacher posts vacant

Assam's schools grapple with thousands of teacher vacancies and declining student numbers. Nearly twenty-five thousand educational institutions have requested provincialisation from the government. Official data reveals over sixty thousand teaching posts remain unfilled across the state. Many schools operate without the required student-teacher ratio, impacting classroom quality. The government is taking steps to fill vacancies and strengthen the education system.
