Delhi Govt Extends Contract Of Samagra Shiksha Teachers For 1 Year

The Directorate of Education (DoE) has announced a one-year extension until March 2026 for the contractual engagement of upper primary and elementary teachers working under Samagra Shiksha-Delhi. In an order issued, the DoE stated that this extension is intended to improve the Pupil-Teacher Ratio (PTR) in government schools, to ensure better educational support and resources distribution.

The contract period for these teachers expired on March 31, and has now been extended until the same date next year. The extension applies to teachers working in the Department of Education, Schools of Specialised Excellence (SOSE), and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) schools.

As per the order, a total of 248 upper primary teachers, 151 primary teachers in MCD schools under diverted capacity, and 2099 primary teachers in MCD schools will be re-engaged on a contractual basis.

The deployment of these teachers will be prioritized in the same schools, given that there is a requirement based on student enrollment. If no requirement exists in the same school, they will be posted in other schools within the same district.

 Teachers with a record of dereliction of duty will not be considered for re-engagement unless permitted by the concerned District Project Officer (DPO), as per the orders.
Also, teachers with records of absence without authorised leave or with adverse reports against them will not be eligible for re-engagement in the 2025-26 session.
The DoE further directed to all District Project Officers (DPOs), and Deputy Directors of Education (DDEs) to issue fresh agreements and offer letters to contractual teachers whose contract expired on March 31.
Samagra Shiksha Teachers are educators working under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), an integrated scheme by the Government of India to improve school education from pre-primary to higher secondary levels. The employment is contractual or state appointed under the SSA.
