Unemployed youth protest announcement of DSC posts

Must read

Following the announcement of Mega DSC posts, thousands of unemployed people who want 25,000 teacher posts under DSC to be filled, besized the Education Commissioner’s office on Thursday.  They demanded that TET examination should be conducted along with the DSC.
Speaking on the occasion, R Krishnaiah, President of the National BC Welfare Association, questioned why the government was not issuing the TET DSC notification all at once. He also said that only 10 per cent passed the last TET exam. In all, I90 per cent failed. After the last notification, two batches of  B.Ed and D.Ed passed. Due to the low number of posts in the previous notification, TET was not written by many. Many teachers are not getting promotions now. If they write TET and pass they will be eligible for a promotion.
Addressing the intentions of the unemployed, the DSC has announced the filling of 11,000 teacher posts. But TET also has to release notifications. Krishnaiah asked the authorities to hold discussions with the unions of the unemployed and the job unions without depending on the number of teacher posts.
He also said that previously, the State government announced that 5,000 teacher posts were filled by the education department. This is very unfair. As per the PRC committee report, about 25,000 teacher posts are vacant in government schools which is in contrast to the announcement made by the former chief minister that 13,000 teacher posts would be filled. Also, 16,000 education volunteers were recruited two years ago. The finance department has approved the appointment of 22,000 special teachers five months ago. “Why these special teachers, if the teacher posts are not vacant?” he asked. About 6,000 schools have been closed during the past 10 years and teacher posts have not been filled.  There are no English, Maths, and Science teachers in 16,000 schools as the teacher posts are not filled. Students are lagging in their knowledge in the three subjects, thereby making them unfit to compete with other states in competitive exams such as engineering, medicine, NEET, etc.
