Different authorities, boards and commissions operate for the selection of qualified teachers in basic, secondary, higher and technical educational institutions of the state, the statement said. Apart from the Examination Regulatory Authority, Secondary Education Service Selection Commission and Higher Education Service Selection Commission, selection is also done through Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission, it said.

Keeping in view the future requirements in the course of policy reforms, it would be appropriate to give an integrated form to teacher selection commissions, the chief minister said, and added that 'Uttar Pradesh Education Service Selection Commission' should be formed as an autonomous corporate body.

The commission will prove to be useful in ensuring timely selection of teachers, better utilization of human resources and financial discipline, he said. Guidelines will be issued by the integrated commission regarding direct recruitment of teachers in basic, secondary or higher educational institutions. The teacher eligibility test (TET) for primary and upper primary levels should also be organized through the new commission, the CM said, and directed to ensure that the TET is held on time.
