Rajasthan Approves 242 Special Education Lecturer Posts, Big Relief for Divyang Students in Classes 11–12

A significant step toward strengthening inclusive education, the Rajasthan government has approved 242 Special Education Lecturer posts for students with disabilities studying in Classes 11 and 12. This is the first time such posts have been created in the state’s education system after independence.

For many years, Divyang students faced serious challenges in continuing their studies after Class 10. The shortage of Braille books, lack of sign language teachers, and absence of subject experts often made senior secondary education difficult. Now, the Rajasthan Education Department’s decision is expected to provide much-needed academic support and open new opportunities for thousands of students.

The decision aims to improve access to quality education for Divyang students by providing subject experts along with specialized teaching support. With these new posts, students will receive better academic guidance, accessible learning materials, and improved classroom support.

Rajasthan Government Sanctions 242 Special Education Lecturer Posts

The Rajasthan Secondary Education Department has officially sanctioned 242 Lecturer (Special Education) posts to support students under the CWSN (Children With Special Needs) category.

The order was issued by Director of Secondary Education Sitaram Jat, who stated that the creation of these posts will strengthen the academic support system for students with disabilities in senior secondary classes. This step has been welcomed by educators and disability rights groups, as the demand for special education lecturers had been pending for many years.

District Allocation of Special Education Lecturer Posts

The Rajasthan Education Department has decided to fill the 242 Special Education Lecturer posts through both promotion and direct recruitment. According to the plan, 121 posts will be filled through promotion, while the remaining 121 posts will be filled through direct recruitment. This approach will allow experienced teachers already working in the system to move into special education roles while also bringing in new professionals trained in special education.

The posts have also been distributed across different districts of the state. In the Sri Ganganagar division, a total of 14 posts have been approved. Out of these, 10 posts have been allocated to Sri Ganganagar district and 4 posts to Hanumangarh district.

Subject Experts to Teach Six Senior Secondary Subjects

The Special Education Lecturers will teach subject-based courses along with specialized support suited to the needs of Divyang students. The subjects included in this initiative are:

With the appointment of specialized lecturers, schools will be able to provide better learning support for students with disabilities. Students will gain access to:

Over 10,000 Students Expected to Benefit

According to education officials, more than 10,000 students studying in Classes 11 and 12 under the special education category are expected to benefit from this initiative. Until now, most of these students depended on general teachers who were not trained in special education, which often created learning gaps. With specialized lecturers in place, students will now receive targeted academic support.

Current Status of Divyang Education in Rajasthan

The state already has a large number of students with special needs enrolled in schools.

A Major Step Toward Inclusive Education
