&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the 2021 State of the Education Report for India: No Teachers, No Class, 1.1 lakh schools in India have just one teacher. Even more worrying is the fact that the problem is especially acute in districts with high representations from scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and all across India&amp;rsquo;s Northeast, which is one of the nation&amp;rsquo;s underdeveloped regions. A total of 19 per cent or 11.16 lakh teaching positions in schools lie vacant in the country; 69 per cent of these are in rural areas. What must not be glossed over is the fact that a large number of these educators do not have permanent jobs: they are Shiksha Mitras or para teachers, who are usually qualified only to assist full-time teachers. Their job responsibilities are formidable, exposing the crisis in India&amp;rsquo;s primary education. In Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, for instance, one para teacher is responsible for 225 students at a government primary school. Even permanent teachers are at the mercy of governments &amp;mdash; they are deputed to carry out census surveys, election duties and a plethora of non-teaching jobs, including cooking mid-day meals and administering polio drops. The Covid-19 pandemic has only aggravated their challenges. Teachers have also been tasked with distributing dry rations to students and carrying out compulsory election duties. In 2019, a survey of five states showed that teachers taught for only 19.1 per cent of their time; the rest was given to non-academic duties. The reported number of deaths of teachers from the virus is staggering.&lt;/p&gt;

Even more worrying is the fact that the problem is especially acute in districts with high representations from scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and all across India&amp;rsquo;s Northeast, which is one of the nation&amp;rsquo;s underdeveloped regions. A total of 19 per cent or 11.16 lakh teaching positions in schools lie vacant in the country; 69 per cent of these are in rural areas. What must not be glossed over is the fact that a large number of these educators do not have permanent jobs: they are Shiksha Mitras or para teachers, who are usually qualified only to assist full-time teachers. Their job responsibilities are formidable, exposing the crisis in India&amp;rsquo;s primary education. In Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, for instance, one para teacher is responsible for 225 students at a government primary school. Even permanent teachers are at the mercy of governments &amp;mdash; they are deputed to carry out census surveys, election duties and a plethora of non-teaching jobs, including cooking mid-day meals and administering polio drops. The Covid-19 pandemic has only aggravated their challenges. Teachers have also been tasked with distributing dry rations to students and carrying out compulsory election duties. In 2019, a survey of five states showed that teachers taught for only 19.1 per cent of their time; the rest was given to non-academic duties. The reported number of deaths of teachers from the virus is staggering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.telegraphindia.com/opinion/harsh-lessons-dearth-of-teachers/cid/1834599?utm_source=facebook&amp;amp;utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_campaign=tt_daily&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR28Xtjvr6Js8cqAb45yF_9FaOP27vhbdBuaiva3BXTqXgk4LTiYrkQDJlc&quot; title=&quot;https://www.telegraphindia.com/opinion/harsh-lessons-dearth-of-teachers/cid/1834599?utm_source=facebook&amp;amp;utm_medium=social&amp;amp;utm_campaign=tt_daily&amp;amp;fbclid=IwAR28Xtjvr6Js8cqAb45yF_9FaOP27vhbdBuaiva3BXTqXgk4LTiYrkQDJlc&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;According to the 2021 State of the Education Report for India: No Teachers, No Class, 1.1 lakh schools in India have just one teacher. Even more worrying is the fact that the problem is especially acute in districts with high representations from scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and all across India&amp;rsquo;s Northeast, which is one of the nation&amp;rsquo;s underdeveloped regions. A total of 19 per cent or 11.16 lakh teaching positions in schools lie vacant in the country; 69 per cent of these are in rural areas. What must not be glossed over is the fact that a large number of these educators do not have permanent jobs: they are Shiksha Mitras or para teachers, who are usually qualified only to assist full-time teachers. Their job responsibilities are formidable, exposing the crisis in India&amp;rsquo;s primary education. In Shamli, Uttar Pradesh, for instance, one para teacher is responsible for 225 students at a government primary school. Even permanent teachers are at the mercy of governments &amp;mdash; they are deputed to carry out census surveys, election duties and a plethora of non-teaching jobs, including cooking mid-day meals and administering polio drops. The Covid-19 pandemic has only aggravated their challenges. Teachers have also been tasked with distributing dry rations to students and carrying out compulsory election duties. In 2019, a survey of five states showed that teachers taught for only 19.1 per cent of their time; the rest was given to non-academic duties. The reported number of deaths of teachers from the virus is staggering.&lt;/p&gt;
