TNA MP spotlights irregularities in teacher appointment

[TamilNet, Tuesday, 07 February 2006, 17:27 GMT]
Mr.S.Jeyananadamoorthy, Batticaloa District Tamil National Alliance parliamentarian has complained to the Minister of Education that several qualified volunteer teachers have been ignored when permanent appointments were given recently in the North East. He appealed to the Minister to take immediate steps to make them permanent, sources said.

Several volunteer-teachers were conferred with permanency during last week. Although it is said granting permanency is done according a circular issued in this regard. However there is discrepancy in selecting volunteer-teachers for permanency. Volunteer teachers who are serving for more than a decade in schools located in difficult areas are ignored completely, Mr.Jeyanandamoorthy said in his letter to the Minister Mr.Susil Premajayanth, sources said.
