The court said- the state government should improve the rules in 3 weeks; 6000 posts to be filled
Bhopal . Madhya Pradesh High Court has put a stay on the remaining posts of high school teacher recruitment in the state. The court, while hearing on Thursday, said in its order that until the state government reforms the rules of teacher recruitment, recruitment will not be done on the remaining posts of high school teachers. The court has given the government 3 weeks time to improve the rules. Only after this the next hearing on the matter will be held. Let us tell you that out of 18 thousand posts of high school teachers, 6 thousand posts are yet to be recruited. During the hearing, the Division Bench of High Court Chief Justice Suresh Kumar Kaith and Justice Vivek Jain advised the state government to make the eligibility of the candidates based on their marks instead of second division.
This is why the recruitment process came into controversy
Actually, there was a big contradiction regarding the second division criteria of the candidates in high school teacher recruitment. The Education Department has recruited 448 such candidates considering them as second division, whose marks in graduation are between 45 to 50 percent. On the other hand, there are many candidates who have not been admitted considering third division, even though their marks in graduation were between 45 to 50 percent. According to the rules of the National Council for Teachers Education (NCTE), the eligibility of the candidates was fixed as second division in graduation, but many universities consider those who score 45 to 50 percent marks as second division, while many universities consider those who score third division. In such a situation, when the education department made recruitment by looking only at second or third division in the marksheet instead of marks, the entire recruitment process came into question.
12 thousand recruitments have been done
Advocate Rameshwar Singh said that the last hearing was held on December 17. In this the government had asked for two days’ time to reply. Today, it has been informed by the Advocate General’s Office on behalf of the government that a high-power committee has been constituted. This may take at least two to three weeks. On this, the court inquired about the status of recruitment and what has happened till now? On this it was told by the government that 12 thousand recruitments have been done.
