New directives to School Edu deptt; those appointed
without sanctioned posts to be considered as bogus
without sanctioned posts to be considered as bogus
Ruling Legislators of the Democratic Alliance of Nagaland (DAN) Legislature Party today took a number of sweeping decisions concerning the alleged dubious appointments of school teachers in the School Education department. The DAN Legislature Party meeting, presided by Planning Minister TR Zeliang, has decided to ‘filter’ sections of the teachers who are currently under censure. The teachers include those probed by the Vigilance Commission’s Special Investigation Team (SIT), those under the purview of the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) and Rastriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan and the third, the “aggrieved teachers.”
TR Zeliang, also Parliamentary Affairs minister, interacted with The Morung Express tonight and informed of the decisions taken during the meeting, said to have been convened primarily to discuss the “bogus teachers’ issue.” Zeliang said the legislators have directed the School Education department to submit a number of reports concerning appointments of teachers.
“We have asked the (School Education) department to bring the latest report of the SIT; latest reports of the SVC (Special Verification Committee) and reports on the SSA and RMSA appointments,” Zeliang informed over the phone. The Commissioner & Secretary and Director and other officials of the department were also in the meeting, it was informed.
According to the DAN leader, the legislators have decided to ‘ask’ the School Education authorities to submit ‘latest report’ of the RMSA and the SSA. All ‘sanctioned posts’ falling within the two institutions should be advertised and then interviews conducted, he explained.
Likewise, he said, the legislators have decided to ‘ask’ the department to terminate teachers – those probed by the Vigilance Commission’s SIT – and were found to have used ‘forged signatures’ or appointed “without sanctioned post.” As for all the “doubtful ones”, he said, their case should be “kept in abeyance.”
Queried about the fate of a section of teachers who call themselves the “aggrieved teachers,” Zeliang said the department has been ‘asked’ to examine their case and study whether they were appointed “against sanctioned posts” or not. “Those appointed without sanctioned posts are to be considered as bogus” he said. He said the department must ‘initiate action’ against the “appointing authority” for appointing them “without sanctioned posts.”
The minister explained that “appointment without sanctioned post” is the chief reason behind imbalance in the distribution of teachers, that is, surplus teachers in some schools and shortage in others.
