The chief minister's office (CMO) has also ordered officials to take steps to increase the enrollment of students in state schools.
The report further said that the Uttrakhand education department has decided to give opportunity to candidates who have scored less than 50% marks at the undergraduate level to apply for primary teacher posts.

The state government has recently decided to recruit English language and computer experts for government schools in the state to help students get better in these subjects and said that it would create over 30,000 job opportunities in the state. It is also planning to merge 1,500 schools with other schools.
