The process of appointments of teachers in the Model schools of the State is getting delayed by one or another reasons. In view of the disaster like situation in many parts of the state due to cloud bursts and excessive rainfall the education department has released new dates for appointment in these schools.
The appointments of serving teachers in the State services would be made on the vacant posts in the model schools. The department has earlier released a time table according to which the process of was to be completed by July 22 but now it has released a revised programe according to which the selection process would get completed by July 26.
The interested teachers can now submit their forms in their respective block by July 12 while the last date up to which the forms would be accepted in the offices of Chief Education Officers (CEO) is July 14. A district level written examination would be held on July 18 and the date of interview of the candidates is July 23.
The appointments would be done at the level of district and the selection would be done by a committee headed by District Education Officer (DEO) Basic.
The Secondary education Director RK Kunwar said that due to recent disaster like situation in many parts of the state the process of deposition of forms was getting affected due to which the entire process was extended by some days.
The selection of the teachers for the model schools would be done by the process of written examination and interviews. The written part is of 30 marks and would cover questions of English, mathematics and general science.
The delay in the recruitment of teachers for these schools means that the teachers would be available in these schools in the month of August while the new session started on April 1. The establishment of five model schools in every block of state is the dream project of Chief Minister Harish Rawat who wants to develop these schools as centre of excellence.
Under the plan three schools under elementary education (Primary and Upper Primary schools) and two schools under secondary education would be developed as model schools. In all a total of 475 schools in the State would be taken up under the project.
The department plans to provide best infrastructure and teaching facilities to the students in these. Students from the schools having less enrollment would be shifted to these residential model schools once they are fully operational.
