The School Education Department has fixed a time-table to ensure posting of teachers according to teachers’ posts approved in Government schools of the State for rationalization. In this connection, the Secretary School Education Department has issued necessary instructions to the Commissioner Public Instructions, Commissioner Rajya Shiksha Kendra, Commissioner Nagar Palik Nigam and Chief Executive Officer District Panchayat.
Under the Right to Education Act in the State, provision has been made for posting of teachers in proportion to the number of students in government schools. There is provision for two teachers for 60 students, 3 teachers for 61 to 90 students, 4 teachers for 91 to 120 students, 5 teachers for 121 to 200 students and one Head Master in primary schools. There is provision of posting of teacher in 1:40 ratio for more than 200 children apart from a Head Master in primary school. In primary schools, posting of teachers would be according to approved posts of assistant teacher, assistant pradhyapak and contractual teacher category – 3.
Teachers will be posted in schools with vacant posts from the government schools where there is more teaching staff than the Right to Education Act. In the process of posting, surplus teachers will be posted from urban areas to rural areas. But in no case any posting will be done from rural area to urban area. Adhyapak cadre will be posted within the recruiter’s unit and the teacher cadre will be posted in schools with vacancies within the district. In middle schools, where Sahayak Shikshaks or Sahayak Adhyapaks are already posted, graduate Sahayak Shikshak or Sahayak Adhyapak’s will be posted for each subject. Sahayak Shikshaks or Sahayak Adhyapaks with Higher Secondary qualification posted in Government Middle School will be posted on vacant posts in primary schools.
The School Education Department, in its policy has also decided that the information about both deficit of teachers and posting of surplus teachers against approved post structure based on the enrollment of students in the schools will be updated and made public in the education portal. In case of any objection on any point in the education portal, an online application would have to be given to the concerned shikshak and adhyapak and a hard copy of the application will have to be sent to the Sankul Principal and Development Block Education Officer.
