Highlighting the grievances faced by the government schools in the district due to the shortage of teachers, Kath said as per the standard criteria of the schools, the actual requirement of teachers in these 15 government high schools is 21 in maths, 17 (science), 10 (English) and 11 (Hindi) graduate teachers.
