Recently, a total of 36,000 teachers of public and private educational institutions across the country have received appointment letters digitally. Digitalisation has been introduced in the teaching sector as this time government has been able to recruit teachers in public and private schools in a completely transparent manner.
At one time the educational institutions used to appoint teachers as per their wish. Different kinds of complaints used to be raised about the procedure later. Now, we have got out of that situation.
Reconsidering the teacher’s appointment
policy has become the need of the hour
The teachers recruited through NTRCA are being recruited on a conditional basis as the police verification work has not been completed yet. They will not be eliminated unless the government report finds evidence of any serious allegations against them. Those who have been deprived of employment due to various complications will be given vacant posts in other educational institutions.
In this day and age, we know people get appointed to their sought-after positions by disregarding all kinds of guidelines and principles. Hence, reconsidering the teacher’s appointment policy has become the need of the hour.
Teachers are professionals who require multiple skills to do their job, and accordingly we should also emphasize building professional standards into teacher training programmes. There must be a policy clarifying what training a teacher must undergo to impart education as professional.
There is no substitute to building a robust pre-service teacher education system to help the country resolve the issue of the capacity of new teachers joining the schooling system. It is teachers who alone can contribute to build a healthy academic sphere for a nation to grow.
