Peren, February 28 (MTNews): Advisor for School Education, KT Sukhalu said today that there are 2,140 Hindi Teachers including 1,308 under CSS and 832 under State program. He also said that there are total of 830 untrained teachers including 223 State and 607 under CSS program, and added that necessary instructions have been given to the untrained teachers to immediately undergo the required training. He stated that, under the NCTE rules, all the teachers should have the requisite qualifications for the teaching profession. “However, there are many teachers who, despite time given by the government, have not obtained the B. Ed & DLED qualifications and, therefore, the department is working on the VRS for untrained teachers,” he said.
The Advisor said this while inaugurating the newly upgraded Government Higher Secondary School at Ahthibung, Peren on February 26, 2022.
Advisor, K.T. Sukhalu in his inaugural address also mentioned that because of the ban in appointments due to COVID-19 and disruption in recruitment activities for the past two years, the Government has decided to give one-time relaxation for two years w.e.f 22nd April 2021 for entry into government service. He also added that the department will shortly be advertising for the recruitment of graduate teachers for science, math, and Hindi.
He also requested the village authorities, GBs, Council Members, and the SMC & VEC of the schools to check the attendance of the teachers and their services in the schools.
Sukhalu also asserted that poor enrollment in government schools is a serious concern that needs to be addressed by the local village authorities. He also said that the government is compelled to downgrade Schools from GHS to GMS to GPS due to very poor enrollment. Further, he encouraged the parents to invest in their child’s education as they are their future.
