Contract teachers demand regularisation of service

‘Decision to conduct an entrance test not acceptable' ‘There are 4,500 vacancies for teachers and only 400 are being recruited'
GULBARGA: The Karnataka State Morarji Desai/Navodaya Model Residential School Principals and Assistant Teachers Welfare Association on Friday accused the State Government of going back on its promises made on the floor of the Assembly to directly absorb 465 contract teachers in these residential schools.
Anaveer C. Harsur, president of the association, told presspersons here that the decision to conduct a Common Entrance Test (CET) to recruit teachers to these schools and giving minor concessions to contract teachers already working there, were not acceptable. Rejecting the Gazette notification issued on January 21 mentioning the rules and regulations of the Association of the Karnataka Residential Education Institutions Society and the cadre and recruitment rules for the recruitment of teachers and other staff , Mr. Harsur said that they contradicted the statements made by the Government on the floor of the House.
He said that the Government proposed to recruit 400 teachers — 200 for Kannada medium and 200 for English medium — to fill vacancies in 285 residential schools. There were 4,500 vacancies for teachers in these schools and, for reasons best known to the Government, only 400 were being recruited now. Grace marks ranging from five to 40, proposed to be given to contract teachers appearing for the CET, and the age relaxation of one year for every one year of service would not benefit a majority of them, he said.
Test
He said the decision to consider 70 per cent of the marks secured in the CET for the final selection would harm the interests of contract teachers.
Similarly, the age relaxation would not help most of them as they had already crossed the age limit to qualify for the CET. The Government had conducted tests while selecting them nine years ago, and these teachers were selected on merit. He wondered why they were asked to appear for another test.
