Bengaluru: Even after a week of the commencement of academic activities for the year 2025-26, around 150 Moulana Azad Model schools, run by the Department of Minority Welfare, are grappling with severe shortage of teachers.

To manage the show temporarily, the department has deputed teachers from other schools.

Even guest teachers have not been hired. However, the entrance test for the appointment of guest teachers, which was introduced by the department, was held on June 2.

According to sources, the appointment of guest teachers will take at least 15-20 days. There are over 250 Maulana Azad Model schools which offer English medium education from classes 6 to 10.
