PATNA: As the state government is not getting enough candidates for appointment as mathematics and science teachers in government schools, it has decided to hold a special teacher eligibility test (TET) for these subjects after reviewing outcome of the ongoing 25-day-long teacher appointment camps.
The state has around 14,000 vacancies of teachers in science and mathematics in primary and upper primary schools. But as per the current trend of appointment, education department officials feel only 3,000 posts can be filled up. The situation is more critical in secondary schools, where science teachers are not turning up to join as 'niyojit teacher (contract teacher)' in government schools mainly due to very low monthly remuneration compared to private schools and coaching classes.
If a science teacher joins a government secondary school as 'niyojit' teacher in Bihar, he/she will get a remuneration of Rs 11,000 per month, whereas private schools offer between Rs 15,000 and 30,000 per month. At reputed coaching classes, similar teachers get remuneration ranging from Rs 40,000 to Rs 1 lakh, a teacher said.
"The teachers' appointment camps across the state will close on February 22. After that the education department will review outcome of these camps in respect of number of remaining vacancies in different subjects and categories. Based on the available vacancies, the department will hold special TET for candidates of science subjects," principal secretary, education, Amarjeet Sinha told mediapersons at the state secretariat here on Wednesday. He further said similar special TET would also be held for reserved categories like SC/ST/ BC-I and women where less number of candidates were turning up for appointment.
Replying to a question, Sinha said the state government was also considering to make a fresh request to the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) to allow appointment of untrained teachers in the secondary schools also in the BC-II and general categories, just as it had allowed for SC/ST and BC-I categories. "But till the NCTE does not grant such permission, the state government will not recruit any untrained person from the BC-II and general category in government schools," he categorically said.
He said it were the untrained persons of BC-II and general categories who were creating nuisance at some of the appointment camps demanding their appointment. The government would not buckle under their pressure, he added
