AGARTALA, July 17 (TIWN): Instead of giving placement to the job aspirants who are qualified, Tripura BJP Govt is rather busy faking job data. Not only rural area’s schools but the capital city Agartala’s schools have been suffering due to the teachers’ crisis. Questions are repeatedly being asked, why the Department is not recruiting teachers, even after having sufficient numbers of qualified candidates. On Saturday Umakanta Bengali Medium school students and guardians protested against teachers’ crisis and the transfer of a dynamic teacher named Jhalak Dey. The guardians demanded more than 9 teachers should be appointed to tackle the teachers’ crisis. In protest, a road blockade was held and later parents and students gheraoed the Education Dept demanding withdrawal of the teacher’s transfer.
Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath who assured to recruit 14,000 teachers now escaping from media to answer this question. Over 20000 vacant posts are in teaching posts and more than 3000 TET qualified are unemployed, but BJP led State Govt which before the Assembly Election 2018 promised to give 50,000 Govt jobs in a year is now failing to give 3000 jobs to qualified teaching candidates.
Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath who assured to recruit 14,000 teachers immediately if he gets qualified candidates has recently, once again overturned his statement saying, “Nowhere in this nation recruitment happens at a time”.
But unemployed youths have argued against his statement saying in Assam recruitment at a time happened. Moreover, under the previous Govt in Tripura no TET qualified left deprived and there was no drama between Dept and TRBT. TRBT hardly verified the certificates and jobs were guaranteed once anyone passed in TET. Difference between both Govts clearly shows the lack of “intention” in the BJP Govt to provide jobs.
