Following its decision to re-engage retired teachers to meet the shortage of teaching staff in the schools, Haryana Government has approved Rs 22 crore for the payment of remuneration of retired teachers engaged in the state for the year 2017-18.
Education Minister Ram Bilas Sharma on Thursday said that retired Post Graduate Teacher will be given Rs 29,000 per month, Trained Graduate Teacher and C and V language teachers Rs 26,000 per month and the Primary Teachers will get remuneration of Rs 21,000 per month.
The State Government had recently decided to re-engage about 5,000 retired teaches in the government schools.
Under the ‘Sugam Shiksha’ component of the Haryana Swarna Jubilee program, the government has approved Rs 22 crore for one year for remuneration to retired teachers. A remuneration of Rs one crore each will be sent to the District Education Officer concerned, said the Minister.
Sharma said that State Government will soon recruit regular teachers on vacant positions in all government schools. These retired teachers are being re-engaged so that students' studies would not be affected until regular recruitment. The day the regular teacher is appointed at the place of retired teacher, he will be relieved on that day, he added.
