To fill vacant teacher posts in government higher secondary schools on temporary basis (for six months), the government has issued orders to recruit teachers through parent-teacher associations (PTAs).
There are 1,474 vacant posts for graduate (PG) teacher across the state and the school education department has decided to fill the posts through PTAs until fresh recruitments are made by the Teacher Recruitment Board (TRB), said a circular issued by the department.
Even though the board has initiated steps to fill the vacant posts, the process is time consuming and for the benefits of Class XI and XII students, the posts should be filled immediately, the circular said.
Teacher posts for eleven main subjects including Tamil, English, biology and zoology should be filled.
The posts are to be filled for the period between September 2018 to February 2019 on contract basis and a teacher will get ₹7,500 per month, the circular added.
Most of the posts fell vacant only two months ago after transfer counseling to fill posts of headmasters in government high schools was conducted, said a government school teacher, explaining that more than 80% of the HM posts were filled with PG teachers.
Attributing the existing vacancies to poor planning of the department, government school teachers condemned the move to fill the posts with temporary teachers.
“After revamping the syllabus, the department has conducted a three-day training to make teachers understand the teaching methodology and techniques adopted in the revamped syllabus. But, such training would not be provided for teachers recruited through the PTAs,” a teacher said.
Explaining that most of the PTA teachers would be fresh out of college without sufficient teaching experience, another teacher said it was going to be extremely difficult for the new teachers to understand and teach as it was difficult even for some experienced teachers. “The teachers could provide some sort of assistance to the students but not train the students,” he said, adding the government could say, on paper, that they had filled all the posts but in reality, it would not be effective.
The posts are to be filled for a period between September 2018 and February 2019 and a teacher will get ₹7,500 per month, a govt circular said
