Similarly, these teachers have to be appointed on merit basis. The remuneration for primary school teachers has been fixed at Rs 7,500 and remuneration for high school teachers has been fixed at Rs 8,000. The department officials opined that the appointment of guest teachers will help in covering the syllabus especially after the schools have reopened after 18 months due to the pandemic. 

Currently, the education department has been working on transfers of teachers from one place to another. In case the guest teachers have already been appointed in such vacant posts, then the department must ensure that the guest teachers are moved to a school where the post is vacant or in need of teachers.
