Government Initiates Re-Employment of Retired Teachers
In a significant move aimed at ensuring continuous education for students, the state government has formulated a plan to re-employ retired teachers in government schools who superannuated during the ongoing academic session. This decision aims to maintain the educational flow without disruption.
Sources close to the matter have revealed that the re-employment scheme encompasses all teachers, including school heads, and selection will be based on various factors such as workload and student-teacher ratios. Re-employment will be on a temporary basis and will be at the discretion of the government, as per a letter issued by the Additional Chief Secretary (School Education) to District Education Officers and District Elementary Education Officers today.
Diljit Singh, District Elementary Education Officer in Rohtak, confirmed the decision and emphasized its benefits for students. This initiative has garnered support from various quarters, with Satpal Sindhu, President of the Haryana School Lecturers Association, commending the move. He highlighted that this approach will prevent any disruptions in students’ education due to the mid-term retirement of teachers.
Sindhu also pointed out the existing shortage of teachers, with over 38,000 vacant positions in government schools across the state. He urged the government to expedite the filling of these vacancies to address the pressing issue of teacher shortages. This move to re-employ retired teachers aligns with the government’s commitment to ensuring quality education and uninterrupted learning for students.
