Participating in the discussions during the Hyderabad District Development Review Committee meeting at Jubilee Hall here, Asaduddin Owaisi said that there were 618 Primary Schools, 180 High schools and 355 private and aided schools in the city. However, he said as many as 585 posts in Primary and 312 in Upper Primary schools were lying vacant. Further 10 posts each of Deputy Education Officers, Deputy Head Masters and Deputy Inspector of Schools were also lying vacant. Of 353 posts of Urdu teachers sanctioned earlier, only 200 were filled.
