GANGTOK, 22 Oct: All Sikkim Educated Self Employed & Unemployed Association [ASESUA] has welcomed the state government’s move to recruit teachers for government schools through TET (Teachers Eligibility Test).
In a press release, the association’s president, Mohan Kr Rai has said that this process should have been carried out a long time back in order to provide quality education in state-run schools. He has further expressed that the previous policy of the state of appointing teachers on ad-hoc basis without any open competitive test should be scrapped at once.
Such practice compromises the future of students getting education in government schools, he has stated and further urged the state government “not to give any heed or compromise with few individuals who in the name of ad-hoc teachers are indulging in politics and threatening to go for pen down strike or are doing it”.
Appointments of ad-hoc teachers were done in a hasty and rampant manner by the state government and these teachers have to understand that they were appointed for a limited period of time, mentions Mr Rai. The demands for regularization are totally illegitimate and go against the landmark judgment of the Supreme Court pronounced in “State of Karnataka and others v. Uma Devi and others”, he states.
If anyone is threatening to indulge in an unlawful act which will hamper students’ education, then the Government should immediately quash the appointment of such an employee and appoint fresh candidates instead, he has further added.
