The Story in Brief
Over half of the sanctioned posts at NCERT are vacant, while CBSE has 44 per cent of its positions unfilled, a parliamentary committee has said. The Tenth Report of the Committee on Estimates (2026-27) flagged staff shortages at both key school education bodies. The committee expressed concern that NCERT, which shaped the National Education Policy 2020, has 1,596 empty posts. CBSE has 933 vacancies out of 2,117 sanctioned posts. The panel reviewed budget and policy aspects for providing affordable and quality education.
The Indian Opinion
The usual official response to such shortages, 'we are working on it', rings hollow when nearly half the posts at NCERT are vacant. This body wrote the NEP 2020, yet cannot fill its own staff. The committee's numbers are plain: 1,596 empty slots in a key policy institution. The test is whether the education ministry will now match its ambitious policy talk with real recruitment. If not, the quality of India's school reforms will remain a question mark.
