DSC: Blame it on unrest
DSC: Blame it on unrest, DSC examination, DSC examination Date, TET Examination Date. Lakhs of teacher aspirants have now been blaming the politicians for pouring cold water on their hopes as it has become almost clear that DSC examination may not be held before the next elections.
- Officials unsure of teacher recruitment drive before elections
- Hyderabad may become hot cake for aspirants even after polls
Lakhs of teacher aspirants have now been blaming the politicians for pouring cold water on their hopes as it has become almost clear that DSC examination may not be held before the next elections. The officials of Secondary Education have sought the nod of Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy for conducting Teacher Eligibility Test (TET) on February 9 and hoped that CM Kiran may give a go-ahead. But they keep their fingers crossed on DSC since by the time they could announce the dates for DSC, the code of conduct for next elections may come into effect.
DSC was held in 2008 but results were declared after three years i.e. in 2011. Another round was cleared in 2012 as the notification and recruitments were completed in just under 11 months. Officials hoped to repeat it in 2013 and even notified a drive for hiring 20,598 posts but could not do so due to one reason or the other viz Panchayat polls, Samaikyandhra agitation and Telangana statehood Bill etc.
“A golden chance was missed. Had our plans gone smoothly, these 20,000 plus teachers would have joined by now. It is now total chaos and nobody knows what would happen after polls” a senior official of Secondary Education told The Hans India.
Though TET would be held on February 9, the successful candidates may have to wait till the next DSC and it’s nobody’s guess that the exam would be held on one state or two states.
The new statehood bill will have to specify some guidelines on the job recruitments and even though Article 371-D stays for both states, the local-non local issue may throw up some unexpected issues, officials anticipate.
Teacher recruitments will be done on 80 per cent local and 20 per cent non-local basis. Though there may not be any problem for local factor, there may be a tough competition for the 20 per cent non-local quota especially in and around Hyderabad. People who have been residing in the Greater Hyderabad or surrounding districts like Medak, Nalgonda, Ranga Reddy and Mahbubnagar, may clamour for the job since then can settle in the capital and do the job by going to school from here (up and down). As Hyderabad has become an apple in everyone’s eye, every post becomes a hot cake.
“As of now there have been more than 35 per cent non-locals- which is 15 per cent more- in the government schools of Hyderabad and surrounding areas. If some more people join, this percentage may even go up. We are unable to address the issue. Thousands of applications seeking transfer have been pending with the department. The problem may get doubled if the state is divided,” an official remarked.
Article 371-D is bound to create more trouble than anticipated as more and more youth have now been turning to government sector for job security these days, the official said.
