Key Announcements: TRE-4 and STET 2025
The Education Minister also shared important details regarding the Secondary Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2025, which will serve as a qualifying test for many aspirants.
Significance of TRE-4
The announcement of TRE-4 is expected to bring a major boost to Bihar’s school education system. With more than 26,000 new teachers to be recruited, schools across urban and rural areas will benefit from an improved teacher-student ratio. Education Minister Sunil Kumar highlighted that the government is committed to ensuring quality education in government schools. He said the new appointments would help reduce the shortage of subject-specific teachers in both primary and secondary levels.
STET 2025: Application and Examination
The State Teacher Eligibility Test (STET) 2025 is currently open for applications. The deadline for online registration has been set for September 27, 2025.
- The exam will be conducted in two shifts daily between October 12 and October 31, 2025.
- The results are scheduled to be released on November 16, 2025, giving successful candidates an opportunity to apply for the upcoming TRE-4 recruitment.
Officials from the Education Department confirmed that all exam arrangements, including centres and invigilation, will be in line with the BPSC’s digital monitoring system to ensure transparency.
Impact on Education in Bihar
The state government’s decision to announce over 26,000 vacancies comes at a crucial time when schools across Bihar have been facing a teacher shortage. According to education data, Bihar currently requires more qualified teachers in secondary schools, particularly in science, mathematics, and language subjects. TRE-4 will help bridge this gap while also creating job opportunities for thousands of qualified candidates. Education experts believe that timely recruitment under TRE-4 will improve classroom teaching quality and help schools achieve better learning outcomes in the academic year 2025-26.
