Capital Area Intermediate Unit to lay off teachers, aides
The Capital Area Intermediate Unit will most likely lay off 23 special education teachers and 30 aides at the end of June because many school districts faced with budget cuts have started teaching special needs students in-house.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training director Krishna Kumar on Friday noted that a few years down the line the country will need close to 60 lakh teachers and at present the shortage is close to five lakh.
