Today’s Hindu<\/a> has an advertisement by Kerala public service commission for recruitment of High school teachers. The notification is available online at the commission’s website here<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is the method of appointment” Recruitment by transfer from among the employees who have completed the 5 years of prescribed service and are working as\u00a0 Clerk\/ Typist\/Attender\/ Peon in Education Department.”<\/span><\/p>\n

This is pretty ridiculous. If you join the education department as a Peon and some how attain a degree, you will become a teacher in 5 years.. I have seen this kind of academic degradation in Kerala’s polytechnic colleges.
\nFor example, an 18 year old guy( somehow he passed the high school) is recruited as a watcher or gardener in a polytechnic . He will join a part time ITI ( certificate) course and complete it in 3 to five years depending on his intellectual capacity. The pubic service commission will appoint him a tradesman after some 5 years of glorious service( Here again a notification will come which will select from among peons or gardeners only). Then he will try to get a Diploma in engineering( may be by correspondence or from Tamilnadu). If he gets his Diploma in another five years, he becomes an assistant lecturer( again recruitment among peons\/tradesman etc). Then he joins a part time BTech course. Another 5 years he will become a lecturer ( again closed recruitment among assistant lecturers). This process goes on and by the time he retires at the age of 55 , our poor gardener will be heading a teaching deparment. I can point out several such cases.<\/div>\n
I am not against people building their careers. But here , a certain percentage of posts are reserved for such people and they need not compete with other outstanding guys outside education department. They become teachers by virtue of being a peon or an attender in a school.<\/div>\n
I pity the future generation. May be I will have to teach them multiplication table when they reach our college.<\/div>\n
Finally, please take a close look at the notification shown above. The public service commission has floated a short “tender ” for recruitment of teachers. I thought tenders and quotations are for purchase of materials by Government departments . My guess is that the under secretary who drafted the above tender might have been selected from among gardeners peons etc. \ud83d\ude00<\/div>\n
