A petition filed by Sheela Premkumari, President of Teachers’ Eligibility Test Passed Teachers Association: The government ordered the appointment of temporary teachers in the vacant posts of intermediate teachers and graduate teachers in Tamil Nadu on June 23. Many people who passed the teacher qualification test did not get employment.
The government has allowed appointment of temporary teachers through District Principal Education Officers. It does not specify the minimum qualification that passing the qualifying examination is mandatory. No public announcement was made. This is illegal.Temporary Teachers appointment notification should be suspended and cancelled. Thus petitioned.
Judge MS Ramesh inquired.Government side: Teachers are appointed on a temporary basis considering the emergency situation for the current academic year. Preference will be given to those who pass the qualifying examination and work under the Home Search Education Scheme. The nomination process will begin on July 15.
Judge: Temporary assignment is not satisfactory. Teachers can be appointed on permanent basis. Appointing unqualified teachers will affect the education of students. When deserving people are denied access to court, the number of cases will increase. They claim to appoint temporary teachers and schedule them after a certain period.
Provisional ban on notification of appointment of temporary teachers. He said the hearing was adjourned to July 8 after sending a notice to the Commissioner of School Education.
