Rajasthan News: The Rajasthan government has decided to merge 302 government schools across the state to strengthen and make the education system more effective. Education Minister Madan Dilawar stated that this process will include 155 higher secondary and 157 primary schools. Of these, 109 schools currently have no students enrolled.
The minister stated that many schools were opened in past years without any concrete requirements or criteria, leading to the dissipation and misuse of resources. These schools will now be merged with nearby schools to ensure proper utilization of teachers, buildings, and other facilities.

The Education Department stated that there are plans to merge 312 schools in areas where several government schools already exist with nearby schools. A survey is currently underway for this purpose, which is expected to be completed by the beginning of next year. The department states that special care will be taken to ensure that students do not have to travel long distances.
Additionally, a “staffing pattern process” is being implemented to balance the teacher-student ratio in the state’s 18,157 higher secondary schools. This initiative will assess the actual teacher needs in each school.
New appointments will be made in schools with teacher shortages, while schools with excess teachers will be transferred to other schools in need.
