SDMC schools to get 586 primary teachers
The Hindu
‘The move won’t make any difference’
Addressing the shortage of teaching staff at primary schools falling under the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC), Samagra Shiksha-Delhi has announced the engagement of 586 schoolteachers, on a contractual basis, under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA).
The move comes after Mayor Mukesh Suryan wrote a letter to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, stating that there was a “shortfall of 600 teachers”, which were to be “urgently filled with contractual teachers as a temporary measure”.
Mr. Suryan said that these teachers had been serving at SDMC schools “since 2001” and “could not be engaged during the pandemic period”. “These teachers are now under the SSA and they will have a regular renewal of their contracts, unlike previous instances where they had to wait and do multiple follow-ups,” he said in the letter.
