Implement service rules, give promotions, demand teachers

‘300 MEO posts vacant in State’

In the absence of proper service rules, many teachers are unable to get promotions even after working for two decades, said leaders of teachers’ unions in the district.

School assistants who have the necessary qualifications such as post-graduation and even Ph.Ds, are supposed to be promoted as junior lecturers. However, many junior lecturer posts are being filled on a contract basis. As per the previous rules, at least 40% of junior lecturer posts are supposed to be allocated to qualified teachers. However, this is hardly being followed in many districts despite repeated petitions, the union leaders said.
