Gandhinagar: The Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) Gujarat, the state's implementing body for the national education mission, has announced a major recruitment drive for over 250 coordinator positions spread across various districts in Gujarat. The vacancies are spread across three tiers of the educational resource framework — Cluster Resource Centres (CRC), Upper Primary Resource Centres (URC), and Block Resource Centres (BRC).
Each of these centres plays a critical role in the grassroots implementation of school education in the state. CRC coordinators work at the cluster level, which typically encompasses a group of 15 to 20 schools, providing academic support and training to teachers. URC coordinators operate at the upper primary level, focusing on grades six through eight, while BRC coordinators function at the block level, overseeing a larger geographical area and coordinating between multiple clusters.
The notification has been posted on the official SSA Gujarat website at ssagujarat.org, where eligible candidates can submit their applications online. While specific details about the qualification criteria, age limits, and application deadlines were expected to be listed in the detailed notification, the recruitment is seen as a significant opportunity for graduates and education professionals seeking employment in the state's school education sector.
Industry observers note that such recruitments are part of the broader effort to strengthen the implementation of the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan — a integrated scheme for school education that merged the earlier Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan, and Teacher Education programme. The coordinator positions are essential for ensuring that pedagogical standards, teacher training, and curriculum implementation reach even the most remote schools in Gujarat's rural and semi-urban areas.
Candidates interested in applying are advised to visit the official portal regularly for updates on the selection process, which typically involves document verification and may include a written test or interview round depending on the specific post.
