ORDER
The appointment of teachers in additional division vacancies were
restricted on various occasions and strict conditions were imposed by
Government from time to time regarding filling up of such vacancies. But in
aided schools, certain Managers have appointed teachers ignoring the
conditions issued in Government orders, which in turn, led to rejection of such
appointments by the educational officers, nonpayment of salary and filing of
several writ petitions by affected parties. As a result, the teachers are
constrained to pay much attention on getting their appointments approved,
rather than engaging in academic activities. The entire hierarchy of field level
officers namely, Assistant Educational Officers, District Educational Officers
and Deputy Directors of Education are engaged in examining staff fixation,
dispensing appeal petitions, approval of appointments, preparing reports and
statement of facts in W.Ps, W.As and SLPs. The time and effort for planning,
monitoring and coordinating academic activities and overall management of the
sector is thus spent on addressing such cases.
2. The majority of the protected teachers (teachers appointed prior to
15-7-1997) retrenched from Aided schools are still continuing in other schools
and ironically majority of them stand deployed to Govt. Schools. This has
2
resulted in curtailing recruitments through Public Service Commission. Even
though Govt. have issued various orders to accommodate them in the respective
Parent Schools, there are 2987 teachers yet to be accommodated. A number of
teachers are likely to be thrown out this academic year as a result of the one
day verification conducted in the ratio 45:1 and a number of teachers were
already retrenched during the period from 1997 to 2010.
3. As per the judgment dated 19.01.2011 in Writ Appeal No.2679/2009
and ten other cases, the Hon’ble High Court has held that the entire students
community should get training in Physical Education, Art and Craft.
Government are duty bound to provide the service of Specialist Teachers to all
schools irrespective of the number of students in each school. Therefore the
Specialist Teachers are to be retained as a separate wing for suitable
deployment to all schools in the State as per the directions of the Hon’ble High
Court.
4.Consistent with the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory
Education Act 2009 (RTE Act) Government made Kerala Right of Children to
Free and Compulsory Education Rules 2011 as per the G.O read as 1st paper
above.
5. In the above background the Government examined the matter in
detail and approved the comprehensive package in principle for introducing a
scientific method for Appointment and Deployment of Teachers in Aided
Schools, approval of appointment of excess teachers working without salary,
revision of Pupil Teacher Ratio (PTR) as per the norms in Right of Children to
Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 (RTE norms), and the deployment of
protected teachers and that of Specialist Teachers, proposed by the Committee
headed by the Chief Secretary with Principal Secretary, Finance and Secretary
Education, as members. Government also appointed a sub committee consisting
of the Hon’ble Minister for Education (Convenor), Hon’ble Minister for
Agriculture, Animal Husbandry& Stationary, Hon’ble Minister for Revenue &
Vigilance, Hon'ble Minister for Water Resources Hon’ble Minister for Excise &
ports and Hon’ble Minister for Food & Civil Supplies and Registration for
