Thiruvananthapuram: In the wake of the High Court verdict on teachers’ package, the government has issued a new order.
It will be implemented as per the High Court verdict and the final verdict on the appeal filed against it by the government.
As per the new order, teachers and non-teaching staff who continued in regular service with approval of appointment on March 31, 2011, will be protected.
Those who received approval of appointment through the teachers’ package from June 1, 2011, teachers and non-teaching staff who were protected through previous orders, retrenched teachers appointed as cluster coordinators through the teachers’ package and specialist teachers without posts re-deployed to other schools through the teachers’ package and drawing salary will also be protected.
Those appointed in regular posts that fell vacant due to resignation, death, retirement, promotion and transfer from 2011-12 to 2014-15 will also be protected as per the new order.
At the same time, appointments made from 2015-16 will not be approved or protected. Appointments to the vacancy created when the head teacher is excluded from class charge and all vacancies under respective managements should be made from aided teachers in protected list. In vacancies that arise in future under other managements, appointments must be done in the ratio of one protected teacher for one new teacher.
Managers of aided schools must inform the relevant DEO and AEO about the vacancies that must be filled.
They must appoint people from the list of protected teachers voluntarily and inform educational officers. Teachers who do not join the school within 15 days of receiving the appointment order will be removed from the protected list.
If it is found out that a manager appointed someone without the permission of educational officers and there are more teachers than the number allowed as per the post fixation order, action will be taken against managers who allow such teachers to continue. Managers must collect written affidavits from appointed teachers that they will be dismissed if it is found out later that they are not qualified for appointment because of lack of qualification, UID errors or difference in date of birth.
This must be ensured by educational officers. Before March 31 every year, the list of existing teachers in a school must be submitted to educational officers by headmasters or managers.
Educational officers must ensure that only approved teachers are continuing in sanctioned posts.
All managements must revise the list of existing 51A claimants and submit it to educational officers. This must be published on the website of education department within two months.
Seniority lists in schools under corporate management must be prepared in this manner and educational officers must publish them on the education department’s website within two months.
Educational officers must inspect schools to ensure that they have students as per UID. If a super-check officer conducts one more inspection and notices a variation or if it is found out that there is a fake UID, the appointment made on the basis of this UID will be cancelled.
The order instructing appointment of specialist teachers through PSC has been withdrawn and permission has been given to appoint them as per KER.
If a school does not have students or periods as per KER, corporate managements can appoint teachers by clubbing it with their nearby school.
If schools under individual management do not have adequate number of students, they will be clubbed and specialist teachers will be appointed by the government.
Appointments of specialist teachers made by managers from 2012-13 will be reviewed, and if the post is a deserving one and if the appointee is qualified, they will be approved.
Granting leave in aided sector will be controlled. To appoint people in place of staff on leave for up to three months, managements will have to make their own arrangements. Substitute appointments will not be approved in such vacancies. The order which made K-TET qualification mandatory for all teachers and the stipulation that it needs to be passed only before 2018 will remain in force.
