The Court was dealing with a public interest litigation (PIL) petition filed by one Salek Chand Jain through advocate JK Gupta.
The plea stated that there are over 71,000 posts of teachers in 1,027 schools run by the Delhi government. However, only 26,210 teachers are working in these schools, it was contended.
“On the one hand, Delhi Govt. has been boasting that the education model of Delhi is one of the best education model in Delhi as well as have state of the Art infrastructure in the Govt. schools but when there is a great scarcity of teaching staff in Govt. schools, how the children get the good education,” the plea said.
