The Education Department in the state has recently announced guidelines regarding the recruitment process for old teachers. According to the new guidelines, the ratio of old teachers to teaching assistants in the recruitment process will be 1:3. This means that for every old teacher hired, three teaching assistants will also be recruited. The recruitment process will be conducted online through the department’s portal, as stated in the official announcement.
Furthermore, the guidelines specify that candidates applying for retirement benefits must have at least two years of service remaining at the time of application. Additionally, only regular teachers with a minimum of five years of experience in non-granted schools (excluding primary schools) are eligible to apply as old teachers. This criteria aims to ensure that only experienced and qualified candidates are considered for recruitment.
For teachers in granted secondary and higher secondary schools, the recruitment ratio of 1:3 has been in place since the recruitment year of 2011. However, concerns have been raised regarding the fixed salary period for teachers recruited in 2016. The issue of whether to consider the fixed salary period as part of the service tenure for retirement benefits is currently under review. It is important to note that teachers in granted schools receive benefits such as salary and accommodation for their families, which may be disrupted if the fixed salary period is not counted towards their service tenure.
In conclusion, the recent guidelines for the recruitment of old teachers in the state aim to streamline the process and ensure that qualified candidates are selected for the positions. By maintaining a ratio of 1:3 for old teachers and teaching assistants, the department seeks to enhance the quality of education in schools. It is essential for all stakeholders to adhere to these guidelines to promote transparency and efficiency in the recruitment process.
