The Tribal Welfare Department of Madhya Pradesh has elevated 264 teachers to lecturer positions, while a teachers' union says over 32,000 educators in the School Education Department are still awaiting promotion.
The Tribal Welfare Department of Madhya Pradesh announced that 264 teachers have been promoted to the rank of lecturer, a move aimed at strengthening the department's instructional capacity. The promotion list was released as part of the department's regular staff‑upgradation exercise.
In contrast, the state teachers' union has highlighted a backlog in the School Education Department, claiming that more than 32,000 teachers are still waiting for promotion to higher posts. The union argues that the disparity underscores a broader issue of uneven career progression across government education bodies.
The department has not commented on the union's concerns, but the situation is likely to fuel further dialogue between the authorities and teacher representatives as they seek a more balanced promotion framework.
