‘Lack of clarity about post of junior teacher’
A gazette notification by the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) calling for applications to the post of junior teachers in government higher secondary schools has led to confusion among jobseekers as well as those holding the post now.
The notification issued on December 31 was for Economics teachers. A note under the ‘Name of post’ said that “Higher Secondary School Teacher (Junior) means part-time post of HSST teacher”.
Higher secondary school teachers pointed out that the post of junior teacher was a full-time job at present, with all the statutory benefits. There has been a demand by various teachers’ unions to elevate junior teachers as senior teachers once they complete five years of service. An expert panel appointed during the United Democratic Front government term of 2011-16 had recommended that junior teachers with eight years of service could be considered for promotion. But the proposal is yet to be implemented.
