Amid transfer concerns among teaching faculty, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has assured special teachers in the state that they will continue to serve in the schools where they are currently employed.
Patna: Amid transfer concerns among teaching faculty, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has assured special teachers in the state that they will continue to serve in the schools where they are currently employed.
The Chief Minister announced this during a ceremony in Patna, where appointment letters were distributed to 1,14,138 special teachers.
Of them, 98,349 were primary teachers, 12,524 secondary teachers and 3,265 higher secondary teachers who passed the competency test.
Addressing the gathering, he emphasised the government's commitment to the welfare of teachers. He clarified that concerns about potential reassignments, especially regarding separate postings for male and female teachers, had been addressed.
"Amid apprehension among appointed teachers regarding new postings, our government has decided that they will continue as special teachers at their schools," Kumar stated.
This decision aims to ensure stability and alleviate the teachers' concerns, enhancing the efficiency of the education system in Bihar.
Chief Minister Kumar assured newly-appointed teachers in the state that they will not be relocated from their current workplaces, addressing concerns about potential transfers.
"The appointed teachers were worried about their new postings. Therefore, we have decided that the appointed teachers have to work where they are working," he said during an appointment letter distribution ceremony in Patna.
The event marked a significant milestone in state's education sector, as 1,14,138 appointed teachers, who passed the competency test, received letters designating them as "special teachers".
At the programme, CM Kumar personally handed over letters to 200 of these teachers.
Reflecting on his government’s commitment to education, the Chief Minister highlighted that reforms in the sector began soon after his government took office in November 2005.
"We first started working in this direction in the year 2006. It is a matter of great happiness that appointed teachers have now been made to pass the competency test," he remarked.
