Only trained teachers should teach in schools: SC
Shiksha Shatru; SC slams ad hoc appointment of teachers
Appointment
of teachers in primary schools on ad hoc basis by various state
governments without following proper qualification criteria on Monday
drew flak from the Supreme Court which said that such policies are
spoiling the entire education system and future of the country.
A
bench of justices B.S. Chauhan and Dipak Misra expressed strong
disapproval of such a system and said it was “shocking” that it can be
pursued even after the implementation of Right to Education Act.
“A
populist principality cannot spoil the future of the country. We want
to know qualification of teachers,” the bench said while hearing Gujarat
government’s plea on a case pertaining to appointment of “Vidya
Sahayak” in primary schools in the state.
“How do you bring such policies when there is Article 21A. It is shocking. There are such appointments in Uttar Pradesh also.
These
Shiksha Sahayaks (helpers) are Shiksha shatrus (enemies),” the bench
observed asking the state government to place details relating to
qualification and appointment of such teachers.The
bench noted that ad-hoc appointment of primary teachers are done in
many states which provide them less than one-forth salary given to
regular teachers.
“Once
we have implemented Article 21A, can we allow such system? Our concern
is quality of education and we are very serious about the kind of
education we are imparting,” the bench said adding, “We spoil the entire
education system by appointing ad-hoc teachers who do not have proper
qualification”.
