Poll code delays TET, SSC notifications
The election code, which is in effect in the State, has stalled the proposed activities in the education department. The code has become a stumbling block on the way of issuing notifications of Teacher Eligibility Test (TET), applications calling for VC posts and also SSC Public Examination schedule.
Hyderabad: The election code, which is in effect in the State, has stalled the proposed activities in the education department. The code has become a stumbling block on the way of issuing notifications of Teacher Eligibility Test (TET), applications calling for VC posts and also SSC Public Examination schedule.
The government had already announced the schedule of the TET and planned to issue notification inviting applications on November 16. Even before the notification was issued, the Election Commission had sought details from the department as to how notification could be released when there was a code.
Giving clarification, the department apprised the EC that test would not impact nor benefit people. However, till date, EC is yet to give its nod leaving several thousands of teacher aspirants in the dark. “On November 16, we gave details which were sought by the EC and again on December 3, we asked permission to permit us to issue the notification.
But till date, we did not get any response from the EC,” said an official of school education. The officials in the department were apprehensive that further delay might take a toll on the conduct of examination as the date was announced already. This might also delay the appointment of teachers in the government by the beginning of the next academic year which the government aimed at.
That apart, SSC Public Examinations, which are part of the academic schedule too, got affected by the code. The Directorate of Government Examinations has already prepared detailed schedule which got an approval from the government.
However, officials of the directorate are running from pillar to post to get a nod from the EC. Similarly, notification inviting applications from the eligible candidates for the post of vice-chancellor in the state-run universities is yet to get an approval from the Commission.
The government had already prepared detailed notification and intended to complete appointment of VCs by the end of December or in first week of January. However, the code has put a break on it. This means the universities have to remain headless for at least two months or more.
