Guidelines to be issued on enlisting development officers
View(s):The Education Ministry will soon issue guidelines on enlisting development officers as permanent teachers.
The reforms will be prepared by a committee that is looking into the demand by development officers who have been teaching for several years in schools that they should be absorbed as teachers of the permanent service.
Some 4,000 development officers had been engaged as teachers. The committee to study the grievances of the development officers was appointed after they held a protest opposite the Education Ministry recently.
The Sunday Times learns that the Public Service Commission, too, has been consulted on the matter. They have taken the position that it was difficult to ignore existing procedures on recruitment of teachers.
Among the issues is the maximum age group that would be considered.
Another issue is whether the development officers should sit a competitive examination to be considered for recruitment.
