To bring transparency in transfer of teachers the government has decided to manage the process online, Mohapatra said adding further that student–teacher ratio of 10:1 will be maintained in the State-run schools.

The transfer of primary school and secondary school teachers will be held online. The teacher seeking a transfer will apply online, the government has framed a standard policy therefore there will be no chance of manipulation. The recruitment of Post Graduate Teachers (PGT) for +2 colleges will be conducted by Odisha Public Service Commission (OPSC) and secondary level teachers’ recruitment will be conducted by Odisha Staff Selection Commission (OSSC)," said Mohapatra.
