Facing shortage of teachers in the schools, Haryana Government would soon recruit 8,000 Post Graduate teachers (PGT) and 2,000 Trained Graduate teachers (TGT). Haryana Principal Secretary, Education Department, TC Gupta on Friday said to improve education system, 8000 PGT teachers and 2000 TGT teachers would be recruited soon so that there would be no shortage of teachers in schools.
Besides this, necessary directions have been issued for the rationalisation of teachers. Also, teachers would soon be appointed after the verification of finger prints of 9,455 junior basic teachers (JBT), he said. To improve learning ability of students nine examinations would be conducted for their evaluation, said Gupta, adding that seven examinations would be monthly, one half yearly and one yearly.
These examinations would be conducted for class I to class VIII students. These examinations would review the performance of students from time to time so that necessary improvements could be made in the prescribed standards, he said.
He added that rationalisation of teachers would be done at district level under the supervision of Deputy Commissioner and it is being initiated from Fatehabad district. The posts of 1,375 teachers are lying vacant in Fatehabad. In order to rationalise, extra teachers posted in some areas would be transferred at schools where there is shortage so as to balance the teacher and student ratio.
About the work of making Aadhaar cards of all students, he said that it is in progress. In district Fatehabad, there are total 1.25 lakh students, of which Aadhaar cards of 90,000 students have been made. The admission of students is being done online and also being linked with Aadhaar cards so that database of all students could be created. He added that in the coming two months, Aadhaar cards of cent per cent students would be made. This would help in timely payment of grants received from the State Government for students and online database of students created would be helpful in making new schemes for the welfare of students and their effective implementation.
