ANNEXURE (63)

[Vide Rule 57.1]

Recruitment of teachers in secondary schools

 

Under government resolution, education department No. STC. 2274/5772 (ii)/W, dated 7^th February, 1974, Government had directed that from 7^th February, 1974 onwards, no untrained graduate or under-graduate teacher should be appointed in any secondary school in the state. Only in case any management, in spite of advertisement and other efforts made to secure the services of trained teachers did not get trained teachers for appointment, the education officers/ educational inspectors were authorized to permit the appointment of untrained teachers if they were fully satisfied that the management had made sincere efforts to secure the services of trained teachers but it was unable to secure them.

 

2. it has been observed that despite the above government directive and despite easy availability of trained candidates seeking employment, the number of untrained graduate teachers in particular, working in secondary schools, has been increasing substantially from year to year.

 

It is imperative that, in the interest of improving the standard of education, only trained persons are appointed as teachers in secondary schools. Government has, therefore, decided that effective steps should be taken on ensure that no untrained persons are hereafter (i.e. on or after the date of this government resolution namely 20^th April 1978) be appointed either for the first time or reappointed (in cases in which their services had earlier been terminated) as secondary teachers. Government is accordingly pleased to direct that the posts of under-graduate secondary teachers which are vacant or which may become vacant or may be newly created in future in non-government aided secondary schools (including technical high schools) and also in similar schools run by Zilla Parishads, Municipal Corporations/ Councils etc. should be filled hereafter by appointing only persons who have passed at least the S.S.C. or equivalent examination and who possess the D.Ed. or equivalent recognized training qualifications. Similarly, the posts of graduate secondary teachers which are vacant or which may become vacant or may be newly created in future in the aforesaid schools should be filled hereafter by appointing only persons who possess:

 

(i)                 At least B.A. or B.Sc. degree of a recognized university and have passed the said degree examination with at least one subject (other than compulsory English) which is taught as school level subject in the prescribed course for secondary standards (Standards VIII-X); and

(ii)               B.Ed./ B.T. or its equivalent recognized training qualification: provided that if a person possessing B.Sc., B.Ed. qualifications does not, despite public advertisement and other efforts, become available for appointment to a vacant post of teacher for teaching mathematics and/ or science subjects, an untrained person possessing at least B.Sc. degree of a recognized university and who has passed the said degree examination with at least one subject (other than compulsory English) which is taught as school level subject in the prescribed course for secondary standards (i.e. standards VIII-X), may be appointed to fill the post. The person so appointed should, however, be clearly informed at the time of his appointment (by inserting a specific clause to that effect in his order of appointment) that he shall have to acquire at his own cost (i.e. without any financial assistance from the state government in any form), the B.Ed. or equivalent qualification.

 

The director of education should review after the lapse of two years or so the position regarding availability of trained science graduates and send proposals to government as to whether the relaxation made in favour of untrained science graduates in the proviso above may be further continued or may be dispensed with.

 

3. Government is further please to direct that if any persons are hereafter appointed in contravention of the stipulations laid down in the preceding paragraph, their salary and allowances shall not be paid under the scheme for payment through co-operative banks of the salaries etc. of teaching and non-teaching staff of non-government aided secondary schools, nor shall the expenditure incurred by the managements concerned on payment of salary etc. of such persons be held admissible for government grant.

 

4. Government has also decided that, with a view to clearing as expeditiously as possible the backlog of untrained graduate teachers who have already entered into the service of secondary schools so far, the non-agricultural universities in the state should be requested to institute as early as possible by mutual co-operation and co-ordination, a well-planned, academically sound and financially viable vacation (Contact)-cum-correspondence course to enable, inter alia, such in-service untrained graduate secondary teachers to acquire the B.Ed. courses as full-time students in the colleges of education. The director of state institute of education, Pune, should liaise with the universities for this purpose. Pending institution of vacation (Contact)-cum-correspondence course, untrained graduate teachers in service in secondary schools may seek on their own admission to colleges of education on the clear understanding that if they take admission they will not be entitled to any financial assistance in any form government during their B.Ed. training period in these colleges.
