Research & Publications Office to host seminar on ‘Teacher Transfers: Equalizing Deficits across Schools’ on 7 August

The talk will be delivered by Dr. Sonal Yadav, University of Liverpool

4 August, 2025, Bengaluru: The Office of Research and Publications (R&P) will host a seminar on, ‘Teacher Transfers: Equalizing Deficits across Schools’, to be led by Dr. Sonal Yadav, University of Liverpool (Economics area), at 3.40 pm on 7th August 2025, at P22.

Abstract: The Right to Free and Compulsory Education Act (2009) (RTE) of the Government of India prescribes pupil-teacher ratios for state-run schools. One method advocated by the Act to achieve its goals is the redeployment of teachers from surplus to deficit schools. The researchers consider a model where teachers can either remain in their initially assigned schools or be transferred to a deficit school in their acceptable set. Transfers cannot turn a surplus school into a deficit school and a deficit school cannot be made a surplus school. The planner's objective is specified in terms of the post-transfer deficit vector that can be achieved. The research shows that there exists a transfer that generates a post-transfer deficit vector that Lorenz dominates all achievable post-transfer deficit vectors. The researchers also give a two-stage algorithm to derive the Lorenz-dominant post-transfer deficit vector, and show that this algorithm is strategy-proof for teachers.

Speaker Profile: Dr. Sonal Yadav is a Lecturer at the University of Liverpool Management School. Previously, she was a Browaldh Post-doc at Umea University.
