AGARTALA, Sep 18 (TIWN): Teachers’ Crisis hits Tripura Govt Schools as BJP Govt failed to recruit only 3,500 Teachers who are already TET qualified. Instead of giving placement to the job aspirants who are qualified, Tripura BJP Govt is rather busy faking job data. On the other hand, the Education Dept continues to blame the Finance Dept for fund and Finance Dept continues to dump responsibility on the Education Dept. In the middle, the job aspirants remained helpless when more than 20,000 posts are laid vacant. 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.

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. 

When journalists asked Finance Minister Jishnu Debbarma regarding TET qualifiers’ recruitment, he threw the blame game to the Education Dept. According to Jishnu Debbarman, it is not at all true that Finance Dept is the main when it comes to the Education Dept's recruitment issue. He also stated that he is not the right person to talk to media regarding Education Dept.
