Imphal, August 26 2015:
B Ed/M Ed Trained Teachers' Association has demanded application of the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE), 2010 in the recruitment of Resource Person under SSA/SMA, 2015, Manipur.
Speaking to media persons the association's joint secretary Laishram Ghanapriya said the alteration of the recruitment notification for Resource Person under SSA/SMA, 2015 regarding the eligibility criteria has caused much confusion to the B Ed/M Ed trained candidates.
The earlier notification, issued on February 28 said only trained B Ed/M Ed candidates are eligible to apply for the aforementioned posts.
However, in the second notification published on March 7 'essential qualification' was replaced by 'desirable qualification' thereby opening the post to other candidates without B Ed/M Ed degree.
The association has appealed to the State Government and the department concerned to reserve the said posts to trained candidates as per the NCTE, 2010 Teachers' recruitment norms.
A memorandum in this regard has been submitted to the State Project Director of SSA/SMA, Manipur by the B Ed/M Ed Trained Teachers' Association signed by its president and secretary general.
The association further demanded department concerned to make necessary alteration in the second notification before August 31 failing which the association warned of launching democratic forms of agitation.
