So the present central government is going to amend
something with long range impact. Present central government and unfortunately
the present state government’s decision, leadership and style of functioning are
mostly awkward, irresponsible, and opportunistic. And myopic, short term
goals with divide and rule kind of any policy that has the potential to go from
worse to worst
The above declaration may seem harsh but if you had been
tapping news and views of thinkers and if
for you the beloved country is more important than any political party or
person then you would definitely understand.
We are failing and being humiliated in any front whether it is international or
national but even then we cannot do anything. Phew!
Apart from the above frustration, news is that according to Ministry
of Human Resource and Development (MHRD), Union government future plan, if you
are plane graduate and can qualify Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) whether
UTET/CTET/TET then you will be eligible to become a teacher for up to 8th
Class. Until now you have to go through the teacher training (Bed/ BlEd/
BTC/JBT etc.) program to become a school teacher. Mind you this is just a
proposal till now.
As per the report some 13 states including Uttarakhand are
reeling under the shortage of teachers. Further the shortage is compounded by
the number of pass outs of the CTET or TET. The qualifying percentages are too
low.
One of the reasons that bring up this new is the compulsion
of Right To Education (RTE) which among other things envisages minimum number
of teacher requirement.
I still don’t know how to react to this news. On one
side it is good news for aspiring perhaps talented graduates and on other side
lots of those who are already graduates and post graduates with teacher
training (already spend money and precious time) and TET pass outs.
Take case of Uttarakhand. Here around 15000+ are eligible
candidates with UTET and still looking for govt. teacher jobs. And while
official record points to lot of vacant post of teachers in the government
schools. 2253 primary teachers post are sill to be filled through Vishist BTC. Today’s
news says that yesterday they resorted to procession and might do other such
things for appointment.
Needless to say that there should be proper thinking rather than
take to benefit by playing with the aspiration of all and then giving nothing
to anyone. Some of our policy makers are expert in this game and other are
going smarter day by day.
Though, official details are yet to come. Lack of proper
planning and mismanagement might just add to the confusion.
