Edn supervisors, instructors seek redressal of issues

Hyderabad: The Non-Formal Education Supervisors and Instructors Association (NESIA) appealed to Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao to intervene and resolve their problems pending for over 25 years. Addressing media here on Sunday, the NESIA president M Nagulu said nearly 5,050 non-formal education supervisors and instructors were left in lurch after serving the Education Department for over 25 years.

He said that the instructors and supervisors had been working in various schemes like eradication of illiteracy, enrolment of children between 9-14 years of the age group in the government schools and bringing back dropouts to the schools.

Besides, their services were also used during the State government programmes like Janma Bhoomi, Neeru-Meeru, population census, election duties and others in the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh.

“However, about 650 of the instructors and supervisors worked from 1975 to 2001 with 45 years of age and B Ed degrees had been appointed as school complex coordinators and cluster resource persons under the Rajeev Vidya Mission,” he said.  

This left the others jobless even after serving for 25 years. Though the issue had been represented time and again to successive governments in the erstwhile Andhra Pradesh, no action was taken, Nagulu said.
