The New Delhi Government approved a significant salary hike for Vocational and Samagra Shiksha teachers to strengthen the education system and support contractual educators. Vocational teachers will now receive ₹38,100 per month, while Samagra Shiksha teachers will receive ₹35,420 per month, bringing them closer to the salary structure of regular teaching staff. The policy benefits more than 1,100 vocational teachers and educators working in hundreds of Special Training Centres. The initiative aims to improve teacher retention, reduce financial insecurity, and ensure better academic support for school dropouts so they can successfully reintegrate into the formal education system under the Samagra Shiksha framework.
