The UNESCO estimates teacher shortage in Indian schools at 3 million. An additional 1.5 million teachers will be required in the years to come. The ASER places the number of students in government schools at 121 million, more than half of whom are in rural or semi urban locations, while the count of teachers churned from India’s human resources remains low. Further, the addition to the number does not necessarily equate to addition in expertise or pedagogical strengths of the new recruits.
