The government of West Bengal on Thursday (April 17, 2025) welcomed the command of the Supreme Court to allow “unsuccessful” teachers to continue their service by the end of the year. The court said they could keep their jobs until a new recruitment process was carried out by the end of 2025.
“This is a huge relief. We have been in confusion about how the teachers will be paid their salaries after the last SC command. We were looking for a backup solution. Now our attraction has been heard … Teachers will be paid in time,” said Mamata Balerjee, Chief Minister.
More than 26,000 teaching and inconvenient school staff supported by the government lost their work after the Supreme Court 3. April confirmed the abolition of the former “tight” selection process.
